Interface IPolicySet

All Known Implementing Classes:
PolicySet

public interface IPolicySet
Represents a set of policy rules. Policy rules are ordered from lowest priority to highest priority. The priority assignment for rules is not enforced by this interface. Various implementation may use different mechanisms such as a linear ordering of rules in a configuration file or explicit assignment of priority levels ..etc. The policy system initialization needs to deal with reading the rules, sorting them in increasing order of priority and presenting an ordered vector of rules via the IPolicySet interface.

 NOTE:  The Policy Framework has been replaced by the Profile Framework.
