Re: [sunxacml-discuss] PolicyFinderModule.java

[Muhammad M. A. <Muh...@ui...>]

Dear seth,

now i explored the API, n previoulsy as u responded that it just need to 
implement IsIDReferenceSupported() method just to include policy referencing 
mechanism thats why i was trying to only include the aforementioned method.

This time my quesitons are very specific. This is a flow of control , i am 
sure, u really know about this, but as a matter of fact, i am giving the 
full flow of control , i means from where the problem start:

1. permitOverridesPolicyAlg.java have a method combine(...) which calls
       MatchResult match = policy.match(context);

2.  now it is policyreference.java n method match
            return getTarget().match(context);
3. public Target getTarget() {
        return resolvePolicy().getTarget();
    }

4. private AbstractPolicy resolvePolicy() {
     ...
         PolicyFinderResult pfr = finder.findPolicy(reference, policyType);
..}
5. public PolicyFinderResult findPolicy(URI idReference, int type)
        throws IllegalArgumentException
    {
        ...
            PolicyFinderResult newResult = module.findPolicy(idReference,
                                                             type);

    }

now the above statement calls the constructor n set the result n status both 
equals to null by :
  public PolicyFinderResult() {
        policy = null;
        status = null;
    }

could u plz guide me in this regard now, that if want to add the test code 
(which includes the policy referecning mechanism, where i shall include it), 
where i should include the call, becaz i am afraid that it may not spoil the 
whole policies parsed before.
I am try to run  the code but if u have some help regarding the issue, it 
would be really appreaciated.

with Best regards
Muhammad.
