  • Method Details

    • getID

      String getID()
      Get the ProtectionPolicy identifier. An identifier may represent a conceptual protection policy (as is the case with the static identifiers defined within this interface) or it may identify a procedural policy expression or plan that may be more difficult to categorize in terms of a conceptual identifier.
      Returns:
      A String containing a policy identifier. This interface defines some policy identifier constants. Configuration systems may define and employ other policy identifiers values.
