Class PredicateDef

java.lang.Object
  org.openliberty.arisid.schema.PredicateDef

public class PredicateDef
extends java.lang.Object

An PredicateDef defines a predicate used to test a boolean condition. Examples: IsAdult, IsBusinessClassFlyer, IsRetired. This object is typically used for defining predicates defined within an SchemaManager object. The Interaction object will also reference predicate objects that are used by the Interaction.

A predicate(aka property) is similar to an Attribute except that its returned value is true or false (a predicate). Each property defines a name, a schema, and other items, such as caching requirements, propagation permissions, that an application would like to request. Note that while these are requested items it may be conceivable that an attribute service may not be able to provide all attributes and their usage requirements in all cases. In other words, an attribute service my have to limit results based on an individual user consent rule that may provide limits on a subject by subject basis.
