Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(NxpeParameterList configurationValues)
                throws NxpeException

Called by Nxpe to initialize a component in preparation for policy evaluation. Notes: Derived classes are required to override this method. This method is guaranteed to be called before any other method is called, as this is part of object construction.

Parameters:

configurationValues - List of configuration data required by the external ContextDataElement handler. This object is only valid during the lifetime of the initialize() method. If the context data element wants to preserve config data, it must be copied to the context data element handler.
