7.3.3. InvocationContexts

InvocationContext holds intermediate state for the duration of a single invocation, and is set up and destroyed by the InvocationContextInterceptor which sits at the start of the interceptor chain.

InvocationContext, as its name implies, holds contextual information associated with a single cache method invocation. Contextual information includes associated javax.transaction.Transaction or org.jboss.cache.transaction.GlobalTransaction, method invocation origin ( InvocationContext.isOriginLocal() ) as well as Section 3.4.1, “Overriding the Configuration via the Option API”, and information around which nodes have been locked, etc.

The InvocationContext can be obtained by calling Cache.getInvocationContext().
