Class Target

java.lang.Object

org.jboss.security.xacml.sunxacml.Target

public class Target
extends Object

Represents the TargetType XML type in XACML. This also stores several other XML types: Subjects, Resources, Actions, and Environments (in XACML 2.0 and later). The target is used to quickly identify whether the parent element (a policy set, policy, or rule) is applicable to a given request.

Since:

1.0

Constructor and Description
Target(TargetSection subjectsSection, TargetSection resourcesSection, TargetSection actionsSection) Constructor that creates an XACML 1.x Target from components.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	encode(OutputStream output) Encodes this Target into its XML representation and writes this encoding to the given OutputStream with no indentation.
void	encode(OutputStream output, Indenter indenter) Encodes this Target into its XML representation and writes this encoding to the given OutputStream with indentation.
TargetSection	getActionsSection() Returns the Actions section of this Target.
TargetSection	getEnvironmentsSection() Returns the Environments section of this Target.
static Target	getInstance(Node root, PolicyMetaData metaData) Creates a Target by parsing a node.
static Target	getInstance(Node root, String xpathVersion) Deprecated. As of 2.0 you should avoid using this method and should instead use the version that takes a PolicyMetaData instance. This method will only work for XACML 1.x policies.
TargetSection	getResourcesSection() Returns the Resources section of this Target.
TargetSection	getSubjectsSection() Returns the Subjects section of this Target.
MatchResult	match(EvaluationCtx context) Determines whether this Target matches the input request (whether it is applicable).
boolean	matchesAny() Returns whether or not this Target matches any request.

Constructor Detail

Target

public Target(TargetSection subjectsSection,
      TargetSection resourcesSection,
      TargetSection actionsSection)

Constructor that creates an XACML 1.x Target from components. Each of the sections must be non-null, but they may match any request. Because this is only used for 1.x Targets, there is no Environments section.

Parameters:

subjectsSection - a TargetSection representing the Subjects section of this target

resourcesSection - a TargetSection representing the Resources section of this target

actionsSection - a TargetSection representing the Actions section of this target

Target

public Target(TargetSection subjectsSection,
      TargetSection resourcesSection,
      TargetSection actionsSection,
      TargetSection environmentsSection)

Constructor that creates an XACML 2.0 Target from components. Each of the sections must be non-null, but they may match any request.

Parameters:

subjectsSection - a TargetSection representing the Subjects section of this target

resourcesSection - a TargetSection representing the Resources section of this target

actionsSection - a TargetSection representing the Actions section of this target

environmentsSection - a TargetSection representing the Environments section of this target

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Target getInstance(Node root,
                 String xpathVersion)
                          throws ParsingException

Deprecated. As of 2.0 you should avoid using this method and should instead use the version that takes a PolicyMetaData instance. This method will only work for XACML 1.x policies.

Creates a Target by parsing a node.

Parameters:

root - the node to parse for the Target

xpathVersion - the XPath version to use in any selectors, or null if this is unspecified (ie, not supplied in the defaults section of the policy)

Returns:

a new Target constructed by parsing

Throws:

ParsingException - if the DOM node is invalid

getInstance

public static Target getInstance(Node root,
                 PolicyMetaData metaData)
                          throws ParsingException

Creates a Target by parsing a node.

Parameters:

root - the node to parse for the Target

Returns:

a new Target constructed by parsing

Throws:

ParsingException - if the DOM node is invalid

getSubjectsSection

public TargetSection getSubjectsSection()

Returns the Subjects section of this Target.

Returns:

a TargetSection representing the Subjects

getResourcesSection

public TargetSection getResourcesSection()

Returns the Resources section of this Target.

Returns:

a TargetSection representing the Resources

getActionsSection

public TargetSection getActionsSection()

Returns the Actions section of this Target.

Returns:

a TargetSection representing the Actions

getEnvironmentsSection

public TargetSection getEnvironmentsSection()

Returns the Environments section of this Target. Note that if this is an XACML 1.x policy, then the section will always match anything, since XACML 1.x doesn't support matching on the Environment.

Returns:

a TargetSection representing the Environments

matchesAny

public boolean matchesAny()

Returns whether or not this Target matches any request.

Returns:

true if this Target matches any request, false otherwise

match

public MatchResult match(EvaluationCtx context)

Determines whether this Target matches the input request (whether it is applicable).

Parameters:

context - the representation of the request

Returns:

the result of trying to match the target and the request

encode

public void encode(OutputStream output)

Encodes this Target 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 Target 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
