public abstract class AbstractContext extends Object implements Serializable
AbstractContext is a generic context class. It has two fields: name and userObject. The name is just the name of the context. You can use a meaningful string to name it. The userObject is customizable portion of Context. You can set whatever you want as userObject. It's just a convention between whoever set it and whoever use it. For example, in ConverterContext, we sometimes used it to pass in a Format.
