Class PolicyFinder  

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.xacml.finder.PolicyFinder

public class PolicyFinder

extends java.lang.Object

This class is used by the PDP to find all policies used in evaluation. A PDP is given a pre-configured PolicyFinder on construction. The PolicyFinder provides the functionality both to find policies based on a request (ie, retrieve policies and match against the target) and based on an idReference (as can be included in a PolicySet).

While this class is typically used by the PDP, it is intentionally designed to support stand-alone use, so it could be the base for a distributed service, or for some application that needs just this functionality. There is nothing in the PolicyFinder Note that it is an error to have more than one top-level policy (as explained in the OnlyOneApplicable combining algorithm), so any module that is added to this finder will be evaluated each time a policy is requested. This means that you should think carefully about how many modules you include, and how they can cache policy data.

public PolicyFinder()

Method Detail

getModules

public java.util.Set getModules()

Returns the unordered Set of modules used by this class to find policies.

---

setModules

public void setModules(java.util.Set modules)

Sets the unordered Set of modules used by this class to find policies.

---

init

public void init()

findPolicy

public PolicyFinderResult findPolicy(com.sun.xacml.EvaluationCtx context)

Finds a policy based on a request's context. This may involve using the request data as indexing data to lookup a policy. This will always do a Target match to make sure that the given policy applies. If more than one applicable policy is found, this will return an error.

findPolicy

public PolicyFinderResult findPolicy(java.net.URI idReference,
                                     int type)
                              throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Finds a policy based on an id reference. This may involve using the reference as indexing data to lookup a policy. This will always do a Target match to make sure that the given policy applies. If more than one applicable policy is found, this will return an error.
