Interface Adjudicator

public interface Adjudicator

The Adjudicator 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.

An implementation of the Adjudicator interface is the part of an Adjudication provider that is called after all the Access Decisions' isAccessAllowed methods have been called and returned successfully (that is, without throwing exceptions).

An implementation of the Adjudicator interface is a singleton object that exists once per realm/JVM (which is part of a security policy domain).

initialize

void initialize(String[] accessDecisionClassNames)

Deprecated. 

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

boolean adjudicate(Result[] results)

Deprecated. 

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 Result array returned from the Authorization Manager, containing the result of each Access Decision. Note that the 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.

Returns:

a boolean value indicating whether the decision is to permit or deny. A value of TRUE indicates that the decision is to permit; a value of FALSE indicates that the decision is to deny.
