## Class Context

- java.lang.Object
- - io.vertx.rxjava.core.Context

-     public class Context
      extends Object

  The execution context of a `io.vertx.rxjava.core.Handler` execution.

  When Vert.x provides an event to a handler or calls the start or stop methods of a `io.vertx.rxjava.core.Verticle`, the execution is associated with a `Context`.

  Usually a context is an *event-loop context* and is tied to a specific event loop thread. So executions for that context always occur on that exact same event loop thread.

  In the case of worker verticles and running inline blocking code a worker context will be associated with the execution which will use a thread from the worker thread pool.

  When a handler is set by a thread associated with a specific context, the Vert.x will guarantee that when that handler is executed, that execution will be associated with the same context.

  If a handler is set by a thread not associated with a context (i.e. a non Vert.x thread). Then a new context will be created for that handler.

  In other words, a context is propagated.

  This means that when a verticle is deployed, any handlers it sets will be associated with the same context - the context of the verticle.

  This means (in the case of a standard verticle) that the verticle code will always be executed with the exact same thread, so you don't have to worry about multi-threaded acccess to the verticle state and you can code your application as single threaded.

  This class also allows arbitrary data to be `put(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)` and `get(java.lang.String)` on the context so it can be shared easily amongst different handlers of, for example, a verticle instance.

  This class also provides `runOnContext(io.vertx.core.Handler<java.lang.Void>)` which allows an action to be executed asynchronously using the same context.

  NOTE: This class has been automatically generated from the `original` non RX-ified interface using Vert.x codegen.

    - #### getDelegate

          public Object getDelegate()

    - #### isOnWorkerThread

          public static boolean isOnWorkerThread()

      Is the current thread a worker thread?

      NOTE! This is not always the same as calling `isWorkerContext()`. If you are running blocking code from an event loop context, then this will return true but `isWorkerContext()` will return false.

      Returns:
        true if current thread is a worker thread, false otherwise

    - #### isOnEventLoopThread

          public static boolean isOnEventLoopThread()

      Is the current thread an event thread?

      NOTE! This is not always the same as calling `isEventLoopContext()`. If you are running blocking code from an event loop context, then this will return false but `isEventLoopContext()` will return true.

      Returns:
        true if current thread is a worker thread, false otherwise

    - #### isOnVertxThread

          public static boolean isOnVertxThread()

      Is the current thread a Vert.x thread? That's either a worker thread or an event loop thread
      Returns:
        true if current thread is a Vert.x thread, false otherwise

    - #### runOnContext

          public void runOnContext(Handler<Void> action)

      Run the specified action asynchronously on the same context, some time after the current execution has completed.
      Parameters:
        `action` - the action to run

    - #### executeBlocking

          public <T> void executeBlocking(Handler<Future<T>> blockingCodeHandler,
                                          boolean ordered,
                                          Handler<AsyncResult<T>> resultHandler)

      Safely execute some blocking code.

      Executes the blocking code in the handler `blockingCodeHandler` using a thread from the worker pool.

      When the code is complete the handler `resultHandler` will be called with the result on the original context (e.g. on the original event loop of the caller).

      A `Future` instance is passed into `blockingCodeHandler`. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the `Future.complete(T)` or `Future.complete(T)` method, or the `Future.fail(java.lang.Throwable)` method if it failed.

      Parameters:
        `blockingCodeHandler` - handler representing the blocking code to run
        `ordered` - if true then if executeBlocking is called several times on the same context, the executions for that context will be executed serially, not in parallel. if false then they will be no ordering guarantees
        `resultHandler` - handler that will be called when the blocking code is complete

    - #### executeBlockingObservable

          public <T> Observable<T> executeBlockingObservable(Handler<Future<T>> blockingCodeHandler,
                                                             boolean ordered)

      Safely execute some blocking code.

      Executes the blocking code in the handler `blockingCodeHandler` using a thread from the worker pool.

      When the code is complete the handler `resultHandler` will be called with the result on the original context (e.g. on the original event loop of the caller).

      A `Future` instance is passed into `blockingCodeHandler`. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the `Future.complete(T)` or `Future.complete(T)` method, or the `Future.fail(java.lang.Throwable)` method if it failed.

      Parameters:
        `blockingCodeHandler` - handler representing the blocking code to run
        `ordered` - if true then if executeBlocking is called several times on the same context, the executions for that context will be executed serially, not in parallel. if false then they will be no ordering guarantees
      Returns:
