PolicyAssertion

java.lang.Object
- com.sun.xml.ws.policy.PolicyAssertion

Direct Known Subclasses:

ComplexAssertion, DefaultPolicyAssertionCreator.DefaultPolicyAssertion, SimpleAssertion
```
public abstract class PolicyAssertion
extends java.lang.Object
```
Base class for any policy assertion implementations. It defines the common interface and provides some default implentation for common policy assertion functionality.
NOTE: Assertion implementers should not extend this class directly. SimpleAssertion or ComplexAssertion should be used as a base class instead.

`protected`	`PolicyAssertion(AssertionData assertionData, java.util.Collection<? extends PolicyAssertion> assertionParameters)` Creates generic assertionand stores the data specified in input parameters
`protected`	`PolicyAssertion(AssertionData assertionData, java.util.Collection<? extends PolicyAssertion> assertionParameters, AssertionSet nestedAlternative)` Deprecated. Non-abstract assertion types should derive from `SimpleAssertion` or `ComplexAssertion` instead. `Policy` class will not provide support for nested policy alternatives in the future. This responsibility is delegated to `ComplexAssertion` class instead.

    assertion's value. May return null if there is no value set for the assertion.
  - isOptional
```
public boolean isOptional()
```
    Method specifies whether the assertion is otpional or not.
    This is a default implementation that may be overriden. The method returns true if the wsp:optional attribute is present on the assertion and its value is 'true'. Otherwise the method returns false.
    
    Returns:
    
    'true' if the assertion is optional. Returns false otherwise.
  - isIgnorable
```
public boolean isIgnorable()
```
    Method specifies whether the assertion is ignorable or not.
    This is a default implementation that may be overriden. The method returns true if the wsp:Ignorable attribute is present on the assertion and its value is 'true'. Otherwise the method returns false.
    
    Returns:
    
    'true' if the assertion is ignorable. Returns false otherwise.
  - isPrivate
```
public final boolean isPrivate()
```
    Method specifies whether the assertion is private or not. This is specified by our proprietary visibility element.
    
    Returns:
    
    'true' if the assertion is marked as private (i.e. should not be marshalled int generated WSDL documents). Returns false otherwise.
  - getAttributesSet
```
public final java.util.Set<java.util.Map.Entry<javax.xml.namespace.QName,java.lang.String>> getAttributesSet()
```
    Returns the disconnected set of attributes attached to the assertion. Each attribute is represented as a single Map.Entry<attributeName, attributeValue> element.
    'Disconnected' means, that the result of this method will not be synchronized with any consequent assertion's attribute modification. It is also important to notice that a manipulation with returned set of attributes will not have any effect on the actual assertion's attributes.
    
    Returns:
    
    disconected set of attributes attached to the assertion.
  - getAttributes
```
public final java.util.Map<javax.xml.namespace.QName,java.lang.String> getAttributes()

    disconnected map of attributes attached to the assertion.
  - getAttributeValue
