All Implemented Interfaces:

PolicyTreeElement

public class Policy
extends AbstractPolicy

Represents one of the two top-level constructs in XACML, the PolicyType. This optionally contains rules, which in turn contain most of the logic of a policy.

Constructor Detail

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      Target target)

Creates a new Policy with only the required elements.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

target - the Target for this policy

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      Target target,
      List rules)

Creates a new Policy with only the required elements plus rules.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

target - the Target for this policy

rules - a list of Rule objects

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the List of rules contains an object that is not a Rule

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      String version,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      String description,
      Target target,
      List rules)

Creates a new Policy with the required elements plus a version, rules, and a String description. Note that the version is an XACML 2.0 feature.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

version - the policy version or null for the default (this must always be null for XACML 1.x policies)

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

description - a String describing the policy

target - the Target for this policy

rules - a list of Rule objects

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the List of rules contains an object that is not a Rule

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      String version,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      String description,
      Target target,
      String defaultVersion,
      List rules)

Creates a new Policy with the required elements plus a version, rules, a String description and policy defaults. Note that the version is an XACML 2.0 feature.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

version - the policy version or null for the default (this must always be null for XACML 1.x policies)

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

description - a String describing the policy

target - the Target for this policy

defaultVersion - the XPath version to use

rules - a list of Rule objects

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the List of rules contains an object that is not a Rule

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      String version,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      String description,
      Target target,
      String defaultVersion,
      List rules,
      Set obligations)

Creates a new Policy with the required elements plus a version, rules, a String description, policy defaults, and obligations. Note that the version is an XACML 2.0 feature.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

version - the policy version or null for the default (this must always be null for XACML 1.x policies)

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

description - a String describing the policy

target - the Target for this policy

defaultVersion - the XPath version to use

rules - a list of Rule objects

obligations - a set of Obligations objects

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the List of rules contains an object that is not a Rule

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      String version,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      String description,
      Target target,
      String defaultVersion,
      List rules,
      Set obligations,
      Set definitions)

Creates a new Policy with the required elements plus a version, rules, a String description, policy defaults, obligations, and variable definitions. Note that the version and definitions are XACML 2.0 features.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

version - the policy version or null for the default (this must always be null for XACML 1.x policies)

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

description - a String describing the policy

target - the Target for this policy

defaultVersion - the XPath version to use

rules - a list of Rule objects

obligations - a set of Obligations objects

definitions - a set of VariableDefinition objects that must provide all definitions referenced by all VariableReferences in the policy

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the List of rules contains an object that is not a Rule

Policy

public Policy(URI id,
      String version,
      RuleCombiningAlgorithm combiningAlg,
      String description,
      Target target,
      String defaultVersion,
      List ruleElements,
      Set obligations,
      Set definitions,
      List parameters)

Creates a new Policy with the required and optional elements. If you need to provide combining algorithm parameters, you need to use this constructor. Note that unlike the other constructors in this class, the rules list is actually a list of CombinerElements used to match a rule with any combiner parameters it may have.

Parameters:

id - the policy identifier

version - the policy version or null for the default (this must always be null for XACML 1.x policies)

combiningAlg - the CombiningAlgorithm used on the rules in this set

description - a String describing the policy or null if there is no description

target - the Target for this policy

defaultVersion - the XPath version to use or null if there is no default version

ruleElements - a list of RuleCombinerElement objects or null if there are no rules

obligations - a set of Obligations objects or null if there are no obligations

definitions - a set of VariableDefinition objects that must provide all definitions referenced by all VariableReferences in the policy

parameters - the List of CombinerParameters provided for general use by the combining algorithm

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the List of rules contains an object that is not a RuleCombinerElement

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Policy getInstance(Node root)
                          throws ParsingException

Creates an instance of a Policy object based on a DOM node. The node must be the root of PolicyType XML object, otherwise an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

root - the DOM root of a PolicyType XML type

Throws:

ParsingException - if the PolicyType is invalid

getVariableDefinitions

public Set getVariableDefinitions()

Returns the variable definitions in this Policy.

Returns:

a Set of VariableDefinitions

encode

public void encode(OutputStream output)

Encodes this Policy into its XML representation and writes this encoding to the given OutputStream with no indentation.

Parameters:

output - a stream into which the XML-encoded data is written

encode

public void encode(OutputStream output,
          Indenter indenter)

Encodes this Policy into its XML representation and writes this encoding to the given OutputStream with indentation.

Parameters:

output - a stream into which the XML-encoded data is written

indenter - an object that creates indentation strings
