public final class ContextDefinition
extends AbstractDataTransferObject
implements ContextDefinitionContract

An immutable representation of a context definition. A context definition defines information about a context which can be loaded into the rules engine for evaluation. A context definition includes a list of agendas which are valid within the context. Typically, during rule engine execution, one or more of these agendas is selected for execution based on a given set of selection criteria.
