GlobalContainer

```
public interface GlobalContainer
```
An instance of this class enables you to cache the values that you want to read again when you next call any user-defined function in the same message mapping. A message mapping has exactly one global container during the execution.
Furthermore, in the same as for Container , you can also access the fields of the message header by using the GlobalContainer object.

Note that the sequence in which user-defined functions are called is predefined. It depends on the position of the target fields that the function was assigned to. Imagine a target structure in the mapping editor in which all the structure nodes have been expanded. The fields are processed from top to bottom, starting at the root node.
To get a global container object, call the method Container.getGlobalContainer().

  - setParameter
```
void setParameter(String name,
                  Object value)
```
    Saves a given object under the given name in a global container, which can be accessed by all user-defined functions of a message mapping.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - parameter name
    
    value - parameter value
  - getParameter
```
Object getParameter(String name)
```
    Returns the object that was saved under the given name in the global container by using the setParameter method. If no such parameter exists, null is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - parameter name
    
    Returns:
    
    parameter value or null if the parameter does not exist.
  - getInputHeader
```
InputHeader getInputHeader()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns the access to the message header input parameters.
  - getInputParameters
```
InputParameters getInputParameters()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns the access to the import parameters which have been defined in the signature tab of the message mapping editor.
  - getInputAttachments
```
InputAttachments getInputAttachments()
```
  - getOutputHeader
```
OutputHeader getOutputHeader()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns the access to the message header output parameters.
  - getOutputParameters
```
OutputParameters getOutputParameters()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns the access to the export parameters which have been defined in the signature tab of the message mapping editor.
  - getTrace
```
AbstractTrace getTrace()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns the mapping trace object.
  - getParameters
```
Map getParameters()
```
    Deprecated. use getInputParameters() instead
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns a map with all input parameters. Left for compatibility with old mapping API
  - getOutputAttachments
```
OutputAttachments getOutputAttachments()
```
  - copyInputAttachments
```
void copyInputAttachments()
