Description
In cases where server-side tracking complements a web-page based model, it would be useful to be able to pass the page_view_id to the Java tracker, by retrieving the value from the client-side and passing it to a native method.
While conceptually it might not make a huge amount of sense to set a web page context with Server-side events, it would be a nice way to model the data when mixing client- and server-side data (eg. where an account_creation event must be sent from the server-side, it could share a page_view_id with a submit_form event on the client-side).

Research direction
Start by locating the Java tracker entry point and the native method used to pass event context, then trace how page_view_id values are represented. Done means callers can manually provide a client-derived page_view_id for server-side events so related client- and server-side events can share it.
