This getContext() method will be removed in the future and should not  
be used. BTW it can only be used by users with programming rights.  
It's a privileged API.

Actually the context stores everything. There are objects that have a  
lifespan of the application and others that have a lifespan of the  
request (like the xwiki request and response object). Jerome is right  
in that the context is updated for each request.

All this should go in the developer guide that I have proposed some  
time back on this list (but got nobody interested in helping out so  
far ;-)).

Thanks
