deserialize in interface PolicyExpressionSerializer

Parameters:

stream - The serialized content in an input stream.

Returns:

The PolicyExpression that has been serialized.

Throws:

PolicyParseException - Thrown if the input stream cannot be deserialized successfully into a PolicyExpression object.

serialize in interface PolicyExpressionSerializer

Parameters:

expression - The expression to serialize.

out - The output stream to write the serialized expression to.
