Contents of a Policy
A policy contains design-time components and runtime features that control the policy usage semantics.
Metadata JSON document contains the design-time components and runtime execution is covered by respective policy files.
Design-time components:
-
Descriptive Attributes: Provides generic metadata to drive the main UI
-
UI: Contains web resources to render the provider-specific UI.
-
Configuration: Contains provider-specific validation feature and a few other design-time features.
Runtime execution occurs when a request for an API that is deployed to the gateway reaches the point in the execution flow.
