BorderRouter.addPolicyRule()

Method

Declaration

PolicyRule addPolicyRule(
    java.lang.String    fromInterface,
    java.lang.String    toInterface,
    java.lang.String    subject,
    boolean             firstBorder)
  throws ConfigurationException
PolicyRule addPolicyRule(
    java.lang.String    fromInterface,
    java.lang.String    toInterface,
    java.lang.String[]  subjects,
    boolean             firstBorder)
  throws ConfigurationException

Purpose

Add a policy rule for a pair of interfaces.

Remarks

Use the first form to add only one subject. Use the second form to add several subjects with one method call. (The first form calls the second form with an array of one element.)

If a policy rule already exists for the From/To pair, then this method (first form) behaves like PolicyRule.addAllowedSubject()—it attempts to add the new subject to the existing rule.

•

If the subject does not already exist in the rule, then the method adds it.

•

If the subject already exists in the rule, then the method throws a ConfigurationException; the rule and subject remain unchanged.

Parameter	Description
fromInterface	Supply the From-Interface for the new policy rule.
toInterface	Supply the To-Interface for the new policy rule.
subject	Specify a subject for which this rule permits forwarding across the two interfaces.
subjects	Specify an array of subjects for which this rule permits forwarding across the two interfaces.
firstBorder	When true, the rule instructs the border router to forward the subjects only when a message has not yet crossed another border. When false, the border router always forwards the subjects. This property applies to all the subjects that this method adds. It does not affect pre-existing subjects.
