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 referred by self.

Returns:

a String that is the Policy URI referred 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:

true 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.TYPE_POLICY for Policy type PolicyComponent Constants.TYPE_EXACTLYONE for ExactlyOne type PolicyComponent Constants.TYPE_ALL for All type PolicyComponent Constants.TYPE_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 referred by self. The specified PolicyRegistry is used to lookup for the Policy that is referred and deep indicates the level of normalization for the returning Policy.

Parameters:

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

deep - the flag to indicate whether returning Policy should be fully normalized

Returns:

the normalized version for 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.

getRemoteReferencedPolicy

public Policy getRemoteReferencedPolicy(java.lang.String u)
