public class DecisionWithObligationException
extends PbaException

This class represents a special type of PbaException, DecisionWithObligationException, which is thrown by the traditional decision method of PBAAPI, if the decision cannot be enforced without enforcing the Obligations, i.e. this Exception is thrown when enforcing a simple boolean decision is not sufficient to meet the security requirements of the system. The AEF or PEP is free to either log this exception as an error, or obtain the Response from this object and enforce the decision in it as well as the Obligations. Note that if you call response method of the PBAAPI, you always get the Response, and never get this exception.
