## javolution.context
Class LocalContext.Reference<T>

    java.lang.Object
      javolution.context.LocalContext.Reference<T>

  Reference<T>

Enclosing class:
  LocalContext

    public static class LocalContext.Reference<T>

extends java.lang.Object
implements Reference<T>

This class represents a reference whose setting is local to the current `LocalContext`. Setting outside of any `LocalContext` scope affects the reference default value (equivalent to `setDefault(T)`).

Constructor Summary
`LocalContext.Reference()` Default constructor (default referent is `null`).
`LocalContext.Reference(T defaultValue)` Creates a local reference having the specified default value.

Method Summary
`T` | `get()` Returns the local value for this reference.
`T` | `getDefault()` Returns the default value for this reference.
`T` | `getLocal()` Returns the local (non-inherited) value for this reference.
`void` | `set(T value)` Sets the local value (referent) for this reference.
`void` | `setDefault(T defaultValue)` Sets the default value for this reference.
`java.lang.String` | `toString()` Returns the string representation of the current value of this reference.

    `defaultValue` - the default value or root value of this variable.

Method Detail

### get

    public final T get()

  Returns the local value for this reference. The first outer `LocalContext` is searched first, then all outer `LocalContext` are recursively searched up to the global root context which contains the default value.

  Returns:
    the context-local value.

### set

    public void set(T value)

  Sets the local value (referent) for this reference.

  Specified by:
    `set` in interface `Reference<T>`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the new local value or `null` to inherit the outer value.

### getDefault

    public T getDefault()

  Returns the default value for this reference.

  Returns:
    the defaultValue.

### getLocal

    public T getLocal()

  Returns the local (non-inherited) value for this reference.

  Returns:
    the local value or `null` if none (value to be inherited or not set).

### setDefault

    public void setDefault(T defaultValue)

  Sets the default value for this reference.

  Parameters:
    `defaultValue` - the root value.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()
