      issrg.pba.rbac.xmlpolicy.ifstatement.TermNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Term

public class GeNode
extends OperationNode

This is the class for GE node of the IF-statement. Its functionality is very much determined by OperationNode, which is configured to deliver the following semantics:

This operation expects two and only two Terms of any type, and returns a value of type Types.BOOLEAN_TYPE. The evaluation result is "true", if and only if there is an interpreter for the required set of Terms, and it evaluates that the first Term is greater than or equal to the second Term.

It is possible to register the interpreters for specific combinations of Terms. Use registerInterpreter method to do that. There is no default Interpreter.

Constructor Detail

GeNode

protected GeNode()

GeNode

public GeNode(XMLPolicyParser p,
              org.xml.sax.Attributes attrs)

This constructor builds a GeNode given the XMLPolicyParser and the set of attributes of this XML element. It expects that there are two and only two child nodes.

Parameters:

p - - the XMLPolicyParser that builds this GeNode

attr - - the attributes of this XML element

Method Detail

register

public static void register()

Call this method to register this node with the XMLPolicyParser.

registerInterpreter

public static void registerInterpreter(Interpreter i)

This method maintains a register of interpreters for specific combinations of Terms. If no special interpreters are registered, the evaluation error occurs. The semantics of the interpreters should make sure that the first Term is greater or equal to the second Term in the array passed to the evaluate method of that Interpreter.

Parameters:

i - - the Interpreter instance that can evaluate inequality expression for some combination of Terms
