The annotation is applied to initial method's (or command method's) parameter. Methods can get various ZK context object like: Page or Desktop by applying annotation on parameters.

Example

Retrieve various context object in a ViewModel

    @Init
    public void init(@ContextParam(ContextType.APPLICATION_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> applicationScope,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.SESSION_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> sessionScope,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.DESKTOP_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> desktopScope,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.PAGE_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> pageScope,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.SPACE_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> spaceScope,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.REQUEST_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> requestScope,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.COMPONENT_SCOPE) Map<?, ?> componentScope,

            @ContextParam(ContextType.EXECUTION) Execution execution,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.COMPONENT) Component component,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.SPACE_OWNER) IdSpace spaceOwner, 
            @ContextParam(ContextType.PAGE) Page page,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.DESKTOP) Desktop desktop,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.SESSION) Session session,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.APPLICATION) WebApp application,

            @ContextParam(ContextType.BIND_CONTEXT) BindContext bindContext,
            @ContextParam(ContextType.BINDER) Binder binder) {..}

The following is another example.

<vbox id="vbox" apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer" viewModel="@id('vm') @init('eg.ContextParamVM')">

<button id="cmd" label="cmd" onClick="@command('cmd')" >
</vbox>

A ViewModel used by above zul

public class ContextParamVM{
	@Command
	public void cmd(@ContextParam(ContextType.COMPONENT) Component component,
			@ContextParam(ContextType.VIEW) Component view) {
	}
}

• In above example, the variable component is a Button object and view is a Vbox object.
