Interface Assertion

All Superinterfaces:
PolicyComponent
All Known Subinterfaces:
IntersectableAssertion, PolicyContainingAssertion
All Known Implementing Classes:
PolicyContainingPrimitiveAssertion, PrimitiveAssertion, XmlPrimitiveAssertion
public interface Assertion extends PolicyComponent
This is an interface that any Assertion must implement. Hence any domain specific type can be used with this framework if it implements this interface.
