java.lang.Object
- org.apache.axis2.jaxws.core.MessageContext

```
public class MessageContext
extends Object
```
The org.apache.axis2.jaxws.core.MessageContext is an interface that extends the JAX-WS 2.0 javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext defined in the spec. This encapsulates all of the functionality needed of the MessageContext for the other JAX-WS spec pieces (the handlers for example) and also provides the needed bits of contextual information for the rest of the JAX-WS implementation.
Specifically, this is responsible for providing APIs so that the client and server implementation portions can get to the Message, defined by the Message Model format and also any metadata that is available.

    key - String
    
    value - Object

  - isMaintainSession
```
public boolean isMaintainSession()
```
    Used to determine whether or not session state has been enabled.
    
    Returns:
  - getLocalException
```
public Throwable getLocalException()
```
    The local exception is the Throwable object held on the Message from a problem that occurred due to something other than the server. In other words, no message ever travelled across the wire.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Throwable object or null
  - setLocalException
```
public void setLocalException(Throwable t)
```
    The local exception is the Throwable object held on the Message from a problem that occurred due to something other than the server. In other words, no message ever travelled across the wire.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t -
    
    See Also:
    
    Throwable
  - setCausedByException
```
public void setCausedByException(AxisFault t)
```
    Parameters:
    
    t -
  - getCausedByException
```
public AxisFault getCausedByException()
```
    Returns:
  - setMEPContext
```
public void setMEPContext(MEPContext mepCtx)
```
    Set the wrapper MEPContext. Internally, this method also sets the MEPContext's children so the pointer is bi-directional; you can get the MEPContext from the MessageContext and vice-versa.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mepCtx -
  - getMEPContext
```
public MEPContext getMEPContext()
```
  - isOutbound
```
public boolean isOutbound()
```
    Returns:
    
    if outbound MessageContext
  - setOutbound
```
public void setOutbound(boolean isOutbound)
```
    Parameters:
    
    isOutbound - true if outbound MessageContext
  - isServer
```
public boolean isServer()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if server role
  - setServer
```
public void setServer(boolean isServer)
```
    Indicate if server role
    
    Parameters:
    
    isServer -
  - freeInputStream
```
public void freeInputStream()
                     throws IOException
```
    Free the resources associated with the incoming input stream. (i.e. HTTPInputStream) This allows the transport layer to free resources and pool connections
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
