public abstract class AbstractAccessControlRule
extends Object
implements AccessControlRule

AbstractAccessControlRule is an abstract implementation of AccessControlRule that provides an implementation for basic methods. Concrete AbstractControlRule implementations may extend this class and override the "evaluate" method.

Field Summary

protected Config	config The Config from which resources are made available.
protected boolean	debug A flag that enables/disables DEBUG-level messages.
protected String	desc A textual description of the AccessControlRule.
protected String	id The AccessControlRule ID (unique within SecurityDomain).
protected Logger	logger Logger for this object

Constructor Summary

AbstractAccessControlRule()
Create a new AccessControlRule.

AbstractAccessControlRule(String id)
Create a new AccessControlRule with the specified ID.

Method Summary

void	destroy() Destroy the AccessControlRule.
abstract boolean	evaluate(InternalAccessControlRequest accessRequest, InternalAccessControlResponse accessResponse) Evaluate the AccessControlRule.
String	getDescription() Get a description of this AccessControlRule.
String	getId() Get the identifier.
void	initialize(Config config) Initialize the AccessControlRule.
boolean	setDebug(boolean enable) Enable or disable debugging.
void	setDescription(String desc) Set a description of this AccessControlRule.
void	setId(String id) Set the identifier.

Constructor Detail

AbstractAccessControlRule

public AbstractAccessControlRule()

Create a new AccessControlRule.

AbstractAccessControlRule

public AbstractAccessControlRule(String id)

Create a new AccessControlRule with the specified ID.

Parameters:

id - the AccessControlRule identifier.

Method Detail

setDebug

public boolean setDebug(boolean enable)

Enable or disable debugging.

Specified by:

setDebug in interface Debuggable

Parameters:

enable - if true, enable debugging, else disable debugging.

Returns:

the previous value of the debug flag, which is useful for restoring the debug state if temporarily changed.

initialize

public void initialize(Config config)
                throws ConfigException

Initialize the AccessControlRule.

Specified by:

initialize in interface AccessControlRule

Parameters:

config - a Config object that provides access to configuration parameters and a runtime Context.

Throws:

ConfigException

getId

public String getId()

Get the identifier.

Specified by:

getId in interface AccessControlRule

Returns:

a unique identifier for the AccessControlRule for use it referencing and looking it up. Return null if no identifier.

setId

public void setId(String id)

Set the identifier.

Specified by:

setId in interface AccessControlRule

Parameters:

id - a unique identifier for the AccessControlRule.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Get a description of this AccessControlRule.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface AccessControlRule

Returns:

a textual description of this rule or null if none available.

setDescription

public void setDescription(String desc)

Set a description of this AccessControlRule.

Specified by:

setDescription in interface AccessControlRule

Parameters:

desc - a textual description of this rule.

evaluate

public abstract boolean evaluate(InternalAccessControlRequest accessRequest,
                                 InternalAccessControlResponse accessResponse)
                          throws EvaluationException

Evaluate the AccessControlRule.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface AccessControlRule

Parameters:

accessRequest - the access request.

accessResponse - the access response.

Returns:

true if the rule evaluates to true, else false.

Throws:

EvaluationException - if an error when attempting to evaluate the rule.
