SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
The methods of this interface are used by containers to
create policy statements in a Policy provider.
An object that implements the PolicyConfiguration interface provides the
policy statement configuration interface for a corresponding policy context
within the corresponding Policy provider.
The life cycle of a policy context is defined by three states; "open",
"inService", and "deleted". A policy context is in one of these three states.
A policy context in the "open" state is in the process of being
configured, and may be operated on by any of the methods of the
PolicyConfiguration interface. A policy context in the "open" state
must not be assimilated at Policy.refresh
into the policy
statements used by the Policy provider in performing its access decisions.
In order for the policy statements of a policy context to be assimilated
by the associated provider, the policy context must be in the
"inService" state. A policy context in the "open" state is transitioned to
the "inService" state by calling the commit method.
A policy context in the "inService" state is available for assimilation
into the policy statements being used to perform access decisions by the
associated Policy provider. Providers assimilate policy contexts containing
policy statements when the refresh method of the provider is called. When
a provider's refresh method is called, it must assimilate only those policy
contexts whose state is "inService" and it must ensure that the policy
statements put into service for each policy context are only those defined
in the context at the time of the call to refresh. A policy context in the
"inService" state is not available for additional configuration and may be
returned to the "open" state by calling the getPolicyConfiguration method
of the PolicyConfigurationFactory.
A policy context in the "deleted" state is neither available for
configuration, nor is it available for assimilation into the Provider. A
policy context whose state is "deleted" may be reclaimed for subsequent
processing by calling the getPolicyConfiguration method of the associated
PolicyConfigurationFactory. A "deleted" policy context
is transitioned to the "open" state when it it returned as a result of
a call to getPolicyConfiguration.
The following table captures the correspondence between the policy context
life cycle and the methods of the PolicyConfiguration interface.
The rightmost 3 columns of the table correspond to the
PolicyConfiguration state identified at the head of the column.
The values in the cells of these columns indicate
the next state resulting from a call to the method
identifed in the leftmost column of the corresponding row, or that
calling the method is unsupported in the state
represented by the column (in which case the state will remain unchanged).

Method Summary | |
void |
addToExcludedPolicy(Permission permission)
Adds a single excluded permission to the PolicyConfiguration. |
void |
addToExcludedPolicy(PermissionCollection permissions)
Adds a collection of excluded permissions to the PolicyConfiguration |
void |
addToRole(String roleName,
Permission permission)
Add a single permission to a named role in the PolicyConfiguration. |
void |
addToRole(String roleName,
PermissionCollection permissions)
Add permissions to a named role in the PolicyConfiguration. |
void |
addToUncheckedPolicy(Permission permission)
Add a single unchecked permission to the PolicyConfiguration. |
void |
addToUncheckedPolicy(PermissionCollection permissions)
Add unchecked permissions to the PolicyConfiguration. |
void |
commit()
This method is used to set to "inService" the state of the policy context whose interface is this PolicyConfiguration Object. |
void |
delete()
Causes all policy statements to be deleted from this PolicyConfiguration and sets its internal state such that calling any method, other than delete, getContextID, or inService on the PolicyConfiguration will be rejected and cause an UnsupportedOperationException to be thrown. |
String |
getContextID()
This method returns this object's policy context identifier. |
boolean |
inService()
This method is used to determine if the policy context whose interface is this PolicyConfiguration Object is in the "inService" state. |
void |
linkConfiguration(PolicyConfiguration link)
Creates a relationship between this configuration and another such that they share the same principal-to-role mappings. |
void |
removeExcludedPolicy()
Used to remove any excluded policy statements from this PolicyConfiguration |
void |
removeRole(String roleName)
Used to remove a role and all its permissions from this PolicyConfiguration. |
void |
removeUncheckedPolicy()
Used to remove any unchecked policy statements from this PolicyConfiguration. |

public void commit() throws PolicyContextException
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
UnsupportedOperationException
- - if the state of the policy context
whose interface is this PolicyConfiguration Object is "deleted" when this
method is called.
PolicyContextException
- - if the implementation throws a checked
exception that has not been accounted for by the commit method signature.public void delete() throws PolicyContextException
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
PolicyContextException
public String getContextID() throws PolicyContextException
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
PolicyContextException
public boolean inService() throws PolicyContextException
PolicyContextException
public void linkConfiguration(PolicyConfiguration link) throws PolicyContextException
link
- - a reference to a different PolicyConfiguration than this
PolicyConfiguration. The relationship formed by this method is symetric,
transitive and idempotent. If the argument PolicyConfiguration does not
have a different Policy context identifier than this PolicyConfiguration
no relationship is formed, and an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
IllegalArgumentException
- - if called with an argument
PolicyConfiguration whose Policy context is equivalent to that of this
PolicyConfiguration.
PolicyContextException
public void removeExcludedPolicy() throws PolicyContextException
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
UnsupportedOperationException
- - if the state of the policy context
whose interface is this PolicyConfiguration Object is "deleted" or
"inService" when this method is called.
PolicyContextException
public void removeRole(String roleName) throws PolicyContextException
roleName
- - the name of the Role to remove from this PolicyConfiguration.
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
UnsupportedOperationException
- - if the state of the policy context
whose interface is this PolicyConfiguration Object is "deleted" or
"inService" when this method is called.
PolicyContextException
public void removeUncheckedPolicy() throws PolicyContextException
SecurityException
- - when the caller does not have a
SecurityPermission("setPolicy") permission.
UnsupportedOperationException
- - if the state of the policy context
whose interface is this PolicyConfiguration Object is "deleted" or
"inService" when this method is called.
