org.jboss.security.xacml.sunxacml.cond.Condition

All Implemented Interfaces:

Evaluatable, Expression

public class Condition
extends Object
implements Evaluatable

Represents the XACML ConditionType type. It contains exactly one child expression that is boolean and returns a single value. This class was added in XACML 2.0

Since:

2.0

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	encode(OutputStream output) Encodes this Condition into its XML representation and writes this encoding to the given OutputStream with no indentation.
void	encode(OutputStream output, Indenter indenter) Encodes this Condition into its XML representation and writes this encoding to the given OutputStream with indentation.
EvaluationResult	evaluate(EvaluationCtx context) Evaluates the Condition by evaluating its child Expression.
boolean	evaluatesToBag() Deprecated. As of 2.0, you should use the returnsBag method from the super-interface Expression.
List	getChildren() Returns the List of children for this Condition.
Function	getFunction() Returns the Function used by this Condition if this is a 1.x condition, or null if this is a 2.0 condition.
static Condition	getInstance(Node root, PolicyMetaData metaData, VariableManager manager) Returns an instance of Condition based on the given DOM root.
URI	getType() Returns the type of attribute that this object will return on a call to evaluate.
boolean	returnsBag() Returns whether or not this Condition will return a bag of values on evaluation.

Constructor Detail

Condition

public Condition(Function function,
         List expressions)
          throws IllegalArgumentException

Constructs a Condition as used in XACML 1.x.

Parameters:

function - the Function to use in evaluating the elements in the Condition

xprs - the contents of the Condition which will be the parameters to the function, each of which is an Expression

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the input expressions don't match the signature of the function or if the function is invalid for use in a Condition

Condition

public Condition(Expression expression)
          throws IllegalArgumentException

Constructs a Condition as used in XACML 2.0.

Parameters:

expression - the child Expression

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the expression is not boolean or returns a bag

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Condition getInstance(Node root,
                    PolicyMetaData metaData,
                    VariableManager manager)
                             throws ParsingException

Returns an instance of Condition based on the given DOM root.

Parameters:

root - the DOM root of a ConditionType XML type

metaData - the meta-data associated with the containing policy

manager - VariableManager used to connect references and definitions while parsing

Throws:

ParsingException - if this is not a valid ConditionType

getFunction

public Function getFunction()

Returns the Function used by this Condition if this is a 1.x condition, or null if this is a 2.0 condition.

Returns:

a Function or null

getChildren

public List getChildren()

Returns the List of children for this Condition. The List contains Expressions. The list is unmodifiable.

Specified by:

getChildren in interface Evaluatable

Returns:

a List of Expressions

getType

public URI getType()

Returns the type of attribute that this object will return on a call to evaluate. This is always a boolean, since that's all that a Condition is allowed to return.

Specified by:

getType in interface Expression

Returns:

the boolean type

returnsBag

public boolean returnsBag()

Returns whether or not this Condition will return a bag of values on evaluation. This always returns false, since a Condition isn't allowed to return a bag.

Specified by:

returnsBag in interface Expression

Returns:

false

evaluatesToBag

public boolean evaluatesToBag()

Deprecated. As of 2.0, you should use the returnsBag method from the super-interface Expression.

Returns whether or not this Condition will return a bag of values on evaluation. This always returns false, since a Condition isn't allowed to return a bag.

Specified by:

evaluatesToBag in interface Evaluatable

Returns:

false

evaluate

public EvaluationResult evaluate(EvaluationCtx context)

Evaluates the Condition by evaluating its child Expression.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Evaluatable

Parameters:

context - the representation of the request

Returns:

the result of trying to evaluate this condition object

encode

public void encode(OutputStream output)

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

Specified by:

encode in interface Expression

Parameters:

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

encode

public void encode(OutputStream output,
          Indenter indenter)

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

Specified by:

encode in interface Expression

Parameters:

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

indenter - an object that creates indentation strings
