Class ContextRef

java.lang.Object
oracle.irm.engine.types.classifications.context.ContextRef

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ContextInstanceRef

public class ContextRef

extends Object

implements Serializable

Context reference. A context is used as a coarse grained way of classifying sealed documents. When content is sealed to the context classification system the sealed content contains details of the Context together with semi-unique value called the ItemCode. This information together is called the ContextCookie. Rights to access context classified content is expressed in terms of the context and optionally the item code. e.g. "john can access all content sealed against context top secret" or "mary can access only content sealed against context top secret with an item code of secrets.sdoc". A context is identified by an UUID value.

This class can be used to reference an instance of a Context object. It contains all the properties needed to uniquely identify a Context. The serialized form of this class can be used to identify an object without the need to serialize the complete object.

XML Serialization

Context instances can be serialized as an XML document. This XML document can also be used to recreate a Context object. The following XML document shows an example Context in XML form.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classifications:Context xmlns:classifications="http://xmlns.oracle.com/irm/classifications">
<uuid>588403f9-9cff-4cce-88e4-e030cc57282a</uuid>
</classifications:Context>

Context instances can also be serialized by reference. A reference contains all the information needed to uniquely identify a Context without needing to serialize the complete object. The reference form of the XML document can be seen below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classifications:ContextRef xmlns:classifications="http://xmlns.oracle.com/irm/classifications">
<uuid>588403f9-9cff-4cce-88e4-e030cc57282a</uuid>
</classifications:ContextRef>
