Context usage in public facing APIs of XlsArea

[tobHai]

I'm currently updating JXLS from version 2 to version 3 in one of my projects.

The migration guide states that Map<String, Object> replaces Context. For most of my usages this change was easy to implement.

But one of my use cases also uses XlsArea and calls public Size applyAt(CellRef cellRef, Context context on it.
I wonder what's the best approach to create a context object for the usage with this API?

Is it fine to use new ContextImpl() for now?

Thanks!

I can't answer it 100% because you didn't give enough information.

There is no guarantee that ContextImpl will still be available in future versions. Therefore, use it at your own risk. ;-) Therefore, the best solution is to implement Context yourself.

Thanks for the quick response.

I was a bit confused by the comment in Context.java stating Jxls context interface (Jxls internal class).
If the Context interface is internal, shouldn't the public methods in XlsArea for accept implementations of PublicContext?
