Method Details

extends PolicyNode> getChildren

public Iteratorextends PolicyNode> getChildren()
Get the iterator of the child nodes of this node. The returned iterator is (naturally) unmodifiable.
Returns:
An iterator over the child nodes.

extends PolicyQualifierInfo> getPolicyQualifiers

public Setextends PolicyQualifierInfo> getPolicyQualifiers()
Returns a set of PolicyQualifierInfo objects that qualify the valid policy of this node. The root node should always return the empty set.
Returns:
The set of PolicyQualifierInfo objects.

getDepth

public int getDepth()
Get the depth of this node within the tree, starting at 0 for the root node.
Returns:
The depth of this node.

getExpectedPolicies

public Set getExpectedPolicies()
Returns a set of policies (string OIDs) that will satisfy this node's policy. The root node should always return the singleton set with the element "any-policy".
Returns:
The set of expected policies.

getParent

public PolicyNode getParent()
Returns the parent node of this node, or null if this is the root node.
Returns:
The parent node, or null.

getValidPolicy

public String getValidPolicy()
Get the policy OID this node represents. The root node should return the special value "any-policy".
Returns:
The policy of this node.

isCritical

public boolean isCritical()
Return the criticality flag of this policy node. Nodes who return true for this method should be considered critical. The root node is never critical.
Returns:
The criticality flag.
