USING A RESOURCE CONTEXT TO ACCESS RESOURCES AND SOURCE DATA FOR A TRANSFORM

摘要

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for using a resource context to access resources and source data for a transform. A transform receives a request to transform source data and calls a resource context. The resource context initializes a resource object for the transform and acquires associations to source data and resources needed by the transform. The resource context maintains the acquired associations to source data and resources in the resource object for the transform and supplies the associations to the source data and resources to the transform. The transform transforms the source data using the resources to produce output and provides the output to the resource context.
