public interface Interceptor

extends java.io.Serializable

Generic interface to be implemented by all interceptors (PIPs and PDPs) in a chain

Method Summary

void	close() this method is called by the PDP framework to indicate that the interceptor now should remove all state that was allocated in the initialize call
void	initialize(PDPConfig config, java.lang.String name, java.lang.String id) Initializes the interceptor with configuration information that are valid up until the point when close is called.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(PDPConfig config,
                       java.lang.String name,
                       java.lang.String id)
                throws InitializeException

Initializes the interceptor with configuration information that are valid up until the point when close is called.

Parameters:

config - holding interceptor specific configuration values, that may be obtained using the name paramter

name - the name that should be used to access all the interceptor local configuration

id - the id in common for all interceptors in a chain (it is valid up until close is called) if close is not called the interceptor may assume that the id still exists after a process restart

Throws:

InitializeException

close

public void close()
           throws CloseException

this method is called by the PDP framework to indicate that the interceptor now should remove all state that was allocated in the initialize call
