Type-Safe Access to BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 MBeans (Deprecated)

(Methods marked with @since 9.0.0.0 are not available through the deprecated MBeanHome interface.)

weblogic.management.security.authorization
Interface PolicyEditorMBean

All Superinterfaces:

weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean, PolicyReaderMBean, weblogic.descriptor.SettableBean, weblogic.management.commo.StandardInterface

All Known Subinterfaces:

DefaultAuthorizerMBean

public interface PolicyEditorMBean

extends PolicyReaderMBean

Provides a set of methods for creating, editing, and removing policies. An Authorization-provider MBean can optionally extend this MBean. The WebLogic Server Administration Console detects when an Authorization provider extends this MBean and automatically provides a GUI for using these methods.

Deprecation of MBeanHome and Type-Safe Interfaces

In addition to being used as a base class that provides functionality to security provider MBeans, JMX applications can use this class directly as a type-safe interface. When used as a type-safe interface, a JMX application imports this class and accesses it through weblogic.management.MBeanHome. As of 9.0, the MBeanHome interface and all type-safe interfaces for WebLogic Server MBeans are deprecated. Instead, JMX applications that interact with WebLogic Server MBeans should use standard JMX design patterns in which clients use the javax.management.MBeanServerConnection interface to discover MBeans, attributes, and attribute types at runtime. For more information, see "Developing Manageable Applications with JMX" on http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html.

Method Detail

createPolicy

public void createPolicy(String resourceId,
                         String expression)
                  throws weblogic.management.utils.AlreadyExistsException,
                         weblogic.management.utils.CreateException

Creates a policy for accessing a resource.

Parameters:

resourceId - - The ID of the resource. A null value will trigger NullPointerException.

For information about creating resources, refer to the Javadoc for weblogic.security.spi.Resource.

expression - - The expression that determines the type of access this policy allows to the resource. A null value prohibits any type of access.

Throws:

weblogic.management.utils.AlreadyExistsException

weblogic.management.utils.CreateException

removePolicy

public void removePolicy(String resourceId)
                  throws weblogic.management.utils.NotFoundException,
                         weblogic.management.utils.RemoveException

Removes a policy.

Parameters:

resourceId - - The resource for which this method removes a policy. A null value may trigger NullPointerException.

Throws:

weblogic.management.utils.NotFoundException

weblogic.management.utils.RemoveException

setPolicyExpression

public void setPolicyExpression(String resourceId,
                                String expression)
                         throws weblogic.management.utils.NotFoundException,
                                weblogic.management.utils.CreateException

Sets a policy expression for a resource.

Parameters:

resourceId - - The resource for which this method sets the policy expression. A null value will trigger NullPointerException.

expression - - The expression that determines the type of access this policy allows to the resource. A null value prohibits any type of access.

Throws:

weblogic.management.utils.NotFoundException

weblogic.management.utils.CreateException
