boolean	equal(IPolicyComponent policyComponent) Returns true if the argument is equal to self.
short	getType() Returns a short value which uniquely identify the type of the PolicyComponent.
void	serialize(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter writer) Serializes the PolicyComponent using an XMLStreamWriter.

Method Detail

serialize

void serialize(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter writer)

Serializes the PolicyComponent using an XMLStreamWriter.

Parameters:

writer - the writer that the component should write itself

Throws:

• IArisWSPolicy.ASSERTION for Assertion type IPolicyComponent

equal

boolean equal(IPolicyComponent policyComponent)

Returns true if the argument is equal to self.

Parameters:

policyComponent - the PolicyComponent to check whether self is logically equal or not
