RE: [xacml] VariableDefinition scope

["Daniel Engovatov" <dengovatov@bea.com>]

Policy element of PolicyType type can not include other policies and PolicySet that can include other policy sets and policy does not include variables

Quoted example is invalid.

Subject: [xacml] VariableDefinition scope

 

Hello

can someone confirm that VariableDefinition's scope is the containing policy only, and doesn't include policies within the policy?

Example:
<Policy PolicyId="P">

  <VariableDefinition VariableId="V">...
  <VariableDefinition>

  <Policy PolicyId="C">...
  </Policy>

</Policy>

So, the variable V can be referenced only from within rules and target of policy P, not policy C.

thanks,
argyn
