ResolveContext (Apache Sling API 2.23.6 API)

```
@ProviderType
public interface ResolveContext<T>
```
The resolve context is passed to most of the methods of the ResourceProvider to provide additional context information for the provider. If the provider requires authentication, the object returned by ResourceProvider.authenticate(Map) is returned in getProviderState().

Since:

1.0.0 (Sling API Bundle 2.11.0)
