If Spring does adopt some type of generic context notion, I strongly 
encourage you to take a look at the Context notion provided by the Morph 
framework.  It is a very simple interface, yet it provides the methods 
needed to implement a Map, which is nice and generic for passing between 
tiers.  The base class for implementers of Context, called BaseContext, 
implements Map.  There are also other mechanisms in Morph to expose a 
Context as a Map.
