Interface BulkAdjudicator

public interface BulkAdjudicator

The BulkAdjudicator interface defines the security service provider interface (SSPI) for an object that is responsible for making the final decision as to whether the processing of the requested method should be permitted to proceed or should be denied as part of a bulk access decision.

initialize

void initialize(String[] accessDecisionClassNames)

Initializes the names of the Access Decisions so that they do not require computation on every isAccessAllowed call that the Authorization Manager (part of the WebLogic Security Framework) makes.

Parameters:

accessDecisionClassNames - an array of String objects containing the list of Access Decisions. The order of this list will match the order of the array of int results sent into the adjudicate call.

adjudicate

Set<Resource> adjudicate(List<Map<Resource,Result>> results,
                         List<Resource> resources,
                         ContextHandler handler)

Determines the final adjudication from a set of decisions rendered by Access Decisions, provided they are acting as policy decision points (PDPs).

Parameters:

results - a List of Map instances from Resource to Result returned from the Authorization Manager, containing the results of each bulk access decision. Note that the order of results is the same as the order of Access Decision class names that were passed in on the initialize method of this interface.

resources - a List of Resource over which the bulk access decisions were made.

handler - environmental context

Returns:

a Set of Resource. If a Resource is present in the set, then access has been granted; otherwise, access has been denied.
