getId abstract method
Returns a unique identifier for this application context.
The identifier serves multiple purposes:
- Logging and Monitoring: Distinguish between multiple contexts in logs
- JMX and Management: Identify context in management systems
- Debugging: Correlate context instances during development
- Serialization: Provide context identity in distributed scenarios
Identifier Characteristics:
- Typically assigned during context creation
- Should be unique within the same JVM/process
- Usually includes context type and sequence information
- Can be used in parent-child context relationships
Example:
final contextId = applicationContext.getId();
print("Operating context: $contextId");
logger.info("Context $contextId initialized successfully");
// Typical ID formats:
// "AnnotationConfigApplicationContext-1"
// "GenericApplicationContext-main"
// "WebApplicationContext-dispatcher"
