public abstract class ContextPublisher
extends Publisher

Provides the interface to be implemented by context publishers together with shared code. Only instances of this class can publish context events. The convention of the context bus regarding the registration parameters is the following:

• ContextPublishers provide only at the registration time info about themselves using ContextProvider.
• ContextSubscribers may pass an array of ContextEventPatterns as their initial subscriptions and can always add new (and remove old) subscriptions dynamically.
