```
public interface MappingContext<S,D>
```
Maintains context during the mapping of a source object of type S to a destination object of type D.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`<CS,CD> MappingContext<CS,CD>`	`create(CS source, CD destination)` Creates a new child MappingContext for the `source` and `destination` which inherits all other information from the this MappingContext.
`<CS,CD> MappingContext<CS,CD>`	`create(CS source, Class<CD> destinationType)` Creates a new child MappingContext for the `source` and `destinationType` which inherits all other information from the this MappingContext.
`<CS,CD> MappingContext<CS,CD>`	`create(CS source, Type destinationType)` Creates a new child MappingContext for the `source` and `destinationType` which inherits all other information from the this MappingContext.
`D`	`getDestination()` Returns the destination object being mapped to or null if the destination has not yet been initialized.
`Class<D>`	`getDestinationType()` Returns the destination type being mapped to.
`Type`	`getGenericDestinationType()` Returns the generic destination type.
`Mapping`	`getMapping()` Returns the mapping associated with the mapping request else `null` if the request did not originate from a `TypeMap`.
`MappingEngine`	`getMappingEngine()` Returns the MappingEngine that initiated the mapping request.
`MappingContext<?,?>`	`getParent()` Returns the parent MappingContext from which the current MappingContext was created, else `null` if there is no parent context.
`S`	`getSource()` Returns the source object being mapped from.
`Class<S>`	`getSourceType()` Returns the source type being mapped from.
`TypeMap<S,D>`	`getTypeMap()` Returns the TypeMap associated with the mapping request else `null` if the request did not originate from a TypeMap.
`String`	`getTypeMapName()` Returns the name of the TypeMap associated with the mapping request else `null` if the request did not originate from a named TypeMap.
