Re: [ws-caf-editors] Very interesting perspective on Context

Greg, give me a ring on Tuesday when you get in and we'll try to talk.

As for WS-GAF, we use context in pretty much the same way as session. Kind
of "this operation is to be performed in the context of ...", and let the
services associate the context id with a particular state (hidden at the
back-end).

Mark.
