Rule (AWS SDK for Java

java.lang.Object
- com.amazonaws.services.waf.model.Rule

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable
```
public class Rule
extends Object
implements Serializable, Cloneable
```
A combination of ByteMatchSet, IPSet, and/or SqlInjectionMatchSet objects that identify the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. For example, you might create a Rule that includes the following predicates:
- An IPSet that causes AWS WAF to search for web requests that originate from the IP address 192.0.2.44
- A ByteMatchSet that causes AWS WAF to search for web requests for which the value of the User-Agent header is BadBot.
To match the settings in this Rule, a request must originate from 192.0.2.44 AND include a User-Agent header for which the value is BadBot.

    RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ruleId - A unique identifier for a Rule. You use RuleId to get more information about a Rule (see GetRule), update a Rule (see UpdateRule), insert a Rule into a WebACL or delete a one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule).
    
    RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.

    RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.
    
    Returns:
    
    A unique identifier for a Rule. You use RuleId to get more information about a Rule (see GetRule), update a Rule (see UpdateRule), insert a Rule into a WebACL or delete a one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule).
    
    RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.
  - withRuleId
```
public Rule withRuleId(String ruleId)
```
    A unique identifier for a Rule. You use RuleId to get more information about a Rule (see GetRule), update a Rule (see UpdateRule), insert a Rule into a WebACL or delete a one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule).
    
    RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ruleId - A unique identifier for a Rule. You use RuleId to get more information about a Rule (see GetRule), update a Rule (see UpdateRule), insert a Rule into a WebACL or delete a one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule).
    
    RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.
