Holds thread specific state information for Bridges, to make Bridge thread-safe. 
 This object cannot be used concurrently; two threads cannot use the same object with Bridges at the same time, nor a thread can use a BridgeContext with one Bridge while the same context is in use by another Bridge. 
 BridgeContext is relatively a heavy-weight object, and therefore it is expected to be cached by the JAX-RPC RI. 

Subject to change without notice.

Deprecated:
 The caller no longer needs to use this, as Bridge has methods that can work without BridgeContext./**
