weblogic.management.security.authorization
Interface PolicyListerMBean

All Superinterfaces:
weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean, ListerMBean, PropertiesListerMBean, weblogic.descriptor.SettableBean, weblogic.management.commo.StandardInterface

public interface PolicyListerMBean
extends PropertiesListerMBean

Provides a set of methods for listing data about 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

listAllPolicies

String listAllPolicies(int maximumToReturn)
                       throws NotFoundException
Obtain an unsorted list of policy definitions.

This method returns a cursor that you can pass to the methods from weblogic.management.utils.PropertiesListerMBean (which this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.

Parameters:
maximumToReturn - - The maximum number of entires to return. Use 0 to return all policy definitions.
Throws:
NotFoundException

listPoliciesByResourceType

String listPoliciesByResourceType(String resourceType,
                                  int maximumToReturn)
                                  throws NotFoundException,
                                         InvalidParameterException
Obtain an list of policy definitions by resource type.

This method returns a cursor that you can pass to the methods from weblogic.management.utils.PropertiesListerMBean (which this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.

Parameters:
resourceType - - The name of the resource type specified by a weblogic.security.spi.Resource object.
maximumToReturn - - The maximum number of entires to return. Use 0 to return all policy definitions.
Throws:
NotFoundException

                                        InvalidParameterException
Obtain an list of policy definitions by application name.

This method returns a cursor that you can pass to the methods from weblogic.management.utils.PropertiesListerMBean (which this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.

Parameters:
applicationName - - The name of the application.
maximumToReturn - - The maximum number of entires to return. Use 0 to return all policy definitions.
Throws:
NotFoundException
InvalidParameterException
