Target, Target

public abstract class AbstractTarget
extends Object

Represents the TargetType XML type in XACML. This defined as abstract, because there can be more than one implementation of TargetType. As an example, TargetType is considerably defer in XACML 2.0 and XACML 3.0 Therefore two implementations are used. The target is used to quickly identify whether the parent element (a policy set, policy, or rule) is applicable to a given request.
