Class PolicyReference

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.neethi.PolicyReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

PolicyComponent

public class PolicyReference
extends java.lang.Object
implements PolicyComponent

PolicyReference is a wrapper that holds explict PolicyReferences.

Constructor Summary

PolicyReference()

Method Summary

boolean	equal(PolicyComponent policyComponent) Returns true if the argument is equal to self.
org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement	getRemoteReferedElement(java.lang.String uri)
Policy	getRemoteReferencedPolicy(java.lang.String uri)
short	getType() Returns short value of Constants.TYPE_POLICY_REF
java.lang.String	getURI() Gets the Policy URI that is refered by self.
PolicyComponent	normalize() Throws an UnsupportedOperationException since PolicyReference.normalize() can't resolve the Policy that it refers to unless a PolicyRegistry is provided.
PolicyComponent	normalize(PolicyRegistry reg, boolean deep) Returns normalized version of the Policy that is refered by self.
void	serialize(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter writer) Serializes the PolicyComponent using an XMLStreamWriter.
void	setURI(java.lang.String uri) Sets the Policy URI

PolicyReference

public PolicyReference()

Method Detail

setURI

public void setURI(java.lang.String uri)

Sets the Policy URI

Parameters:

uri - the Policy URI

getURI

public java.lang.String getURI()

Gets the Policy URI that is refered by self.

Returns:

a String that is the Policy URI refered by self

equal

public boolean equal(PolicyComponent policyComponent)

Description copied from interface: PolicyComponent

Returns true if the argument is equal to self.

Specified by:

equal in interface PolicyComponent

Parameters:

policyComponent - the PolicyComponent to check whether self is logically equal or not

Returns:

ture if the argument is equal to self.

getType

public short getType()

Returns short value of Constants.TYPE_POLICY_REF

Specified by:

getType in interface PolicyComponent

Returns:

Constants.POLICY for Policy type PolicyComponent Constants.EXACTLYONE for ExactlyOne type PolicyComponent Constants.ALL for All type PolicyComponent Constants.ASSERTION for Assertion type PolicyComponent

normalize

public PolicyComponent normalize()

Throws an UnsupportedOperationException since PolicyReference.normalize() can't resolve the Policy that it refers to unless a PolicyRegistry is provided.

normalize

public PolicyComponent normalize(PolicyRegistry reg,
                                 boolean deep)

Returns normalized version of the Policy that is refered by self. The specified PolicyRegistry is used to lookup for the Policy that is refered and dee indicates the level of normalization fo the returning Policy.

Parameters:

reg - the PolicyRegistry that is used to resolved the Policy refered by self

deep - the falg to indicate whether returning Policy should be fully normailized

Returns:

the normalized version fo the Policy refered by self

serialize

public void serialize(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter writer)
               throws javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: PolicyComponent

Serializes the PolicyComponent using an XMLStreamWriter.

Specified by:

serialize in interface PolicyComponent

Parameters:

writer - the writer that the component should write itself

Throws:

javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException - if an errors in the process of serialization of the PolicyComponent.

getRemoteReferedElement
