Interface CloseableNamedAttributeProvider

All Superinterfaces:

AttributeProvider, AutoCloseable, Closeable, NamedAttributeProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseNamedAttributeProvider

public interface CloseableNamedAttributeProvider
extends NamedAttributeProvider, Closeable

NamedAttributeProvider that extends Closeable because it may may use resources external to the JVM such as a cache, a disk, a connection to a remote server, etc. for retrieving the attribute values. Therefore, these resources must be released by calling Closeable.close() when it is no longer needed.

PDP extensions of this type (to support new ways of providing attributes) must implement the CloseableNamedAttributeProvider.FactoryBuilder class.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static interface	CloseableNamedAttributeProvider.DependencyAwareFactory	Intermediate dependency-aware CloseableNamedAttributeProvider factory that can create instances of Attribute Providers from a XML/JAXB configuration, and also provides the dependencies (required attributes) (based on this configuration), that any such instance (created by it) will need.
static class	CloseableNamedAttributeProvider.FactoryBuilder<CONF_T extends org.ow2.authzforce.xmlns.pdp.ext.AbstractAttributeProvider>	Builder that creates a dependency-aware AttributeProvider factory from parsing the attribute dependencies (attributes on which the Providers created by this factory will depend on to find their own supported attributes) declared in the XML configuration (possibly dynamic).
