Interface CloseablePdpEngine

  • All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable, Closeable, PdpEngine
    public interface CloseablePdpEngine
extends PdpEngine, Closeable
    XACML PDP that implements Closeable because it may depend on various components that hold resources such as network resources and caches to get: the root policy or policies referenced by the root policy; or to get attributes used in the policies from remote sources when not provided in the Request; or to get cached decisions for requests already evaluated in the past, etc. Therefore, you are required to call Closeable.close() when you no longer need an instance - especially before replacing with a new instance - in order to make sure these resources are released properly by each underlying module (e.g. invalidate the attribute caches and/or network resources).
