java.lang.Object
- org.silverpeas.core.selection.SelectionContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class SelectionContext
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
The context of a selection by a user of a resource in Silverpeas. It explains in what aim a resource has been put into the SelectionBasket, in other words for what operation the selection has been done. As such it can contain additional information required by the operation to be performed against the selected resource. By specifying a context to a selection, the consumer of the selected resources in the basket can then either filter the resources on which it has to operate or apply a different behaviour according to their selection context.
