    - #### getApplicationContext

          public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext(java.lang.Object applicationInstance)

      This method needs an argument, an object that represents the application instance. An application consists of a set of object, however there is a single object, which is used by the corresponding application container to manage the lifecycle on the application instance. The lifetime of this object equals the lifetime of the application instance; therefore, it is suitable to represent the instance.

      The returned `ApplicationContext` object is singleton for the specified application instance. Subsequent calls to this method with the same application instance must return the same context object

      Parameters:
        `applicationInstance` - is the activator object of an application instance
      Returns:
        the `ApplicationContext` of the specified application instance.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - If `applicationInstance` is `null`
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if called with an object that is not the activator object of an application.
