All Superinterfaces:

Map<String,Object>

All Known Subinterfaces:

LogicalMessageContext, SOAPMessageContext
```
public interface MessageContext
extends Map<String,Object>
```
The interface MessageContext abstracts the message context that is processed by a handler in the handle method.
The MessageContext interface provides methods to manage a property set. MessageContext properties enable handlers in a handler chain to share processing related state.

1.6, JAX-WS 2.0
