Method Detail

isAllowed

Boolean isAllowed(String ip,
                String functionName,
                String conventionName)
                  throws IllegalArgumentException,
                         ParseException

Determines if the specified IP address is allowed to access the specified function.

This method finds the first matching rule and then returns the allow property of that rule (see AccessRule.isAllowRule()). If there is no matching rule, then null is returned.

Parameters:

ip - the IP address, cannot be null.

functionName - the name of the function, cannot be null.

conventionName - the name of the calling convention, can be null.

Returns:

Boolean.TRUE if the specified IP address is allowed to access the specified function, Boolean.FALSE if it is disallowed access or null if there is no match.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if ip == null || functionName == null.

ParseException - if the specified IP address is malformed.

Since:

XINS 2.1.

dispose

void dispose()

Disposes this access rule. All claimed resources are freed as much as possible.

Once disposed, the isAllowed(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) method should no longer be called.
