About Context Renderers

A context renderer is a JavaScript object that Siebel Open UI optionally uses to enhance the user interface for generic functionality. It is an extension to the physical renderer and provides loose coupling for specific UI operations. A physical renderer can have one or many context renderers. In an ideal scenario, a context renderer would always be limited to user interface operation.

For example, if all Applets in a view needs to be rendered as Accordion Panel, then it can be implemented as context renderer. Also, the context renderer can be attached to view physical renderers without any impact on the View PR functionality.
