Chapter 24. Obtaining Context

Now that we've been introduced to PAPI, let's dig in a little deeper. In order to interact with PAPI, we will need to gain access to a CMS entry point commonly referred to as a CMS Context. The dictionary defines "context" as the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs. CMS defines Context as the entry point into PAPI from which all interrelated publishing objects exist and can be accessed and/or manipulated. Said another way, Context is the only way to programmatically get to CMS functionality.
