All Implemented Interfaces:

public class PolicyRule
extends Object
implements Comparable

A rule used in determining whether a user has a role.

When determining whether a SOAP operation should be permitted, the PBAC PDP must first find the set of roles which the caller has in the context of the resource. This is done by evaluating each of the resource's PolicyRules.

Each rule contains a MatchPattern, and the effect of the pattern being matched.

Since:
