Description

I want to expose the connection context to the handler functions. I've attached a patch for the JS compiler that accomplishes what I want, but I want to see if anyone else has an opinion on the correct interface.

My current approach binds a plain javascript object, {{

{ inputProtocol: input, outputProtocol: output }

}}, to the this._handler.someHandlerFn` so that within the handler function you can use {{this.inputProtocol}" to get access to the inputProtocol, which can in turn be used to get access to the input transport.
