javax.money.CurrencyContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class CurrencyContext
extends AbstractContext
implements Serializable

This class models the attributable context of CurrencyUnit instances. It provides information about

• the provider that provided the instance (required)
• the target timestamp / temporal unit
• any other attributes, identified by the attribute type, e.g. regions, tenants etc.

Instances of this class must be created using the CurrencyContextBuilder. Typically the contexts are created and assigned by the classes that implement the CurrencyProviderSpi. The according implementation classes should document, which attributes are available.

This class is immutable, serializable and thread-safe.
