      • evaluate

        Decision evaluate​(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String> resource,
                          javax.security.auth.Subject subject,
                          java.lang.String action,
                          java.util.Set<Attribute> environment)
        Evaluate the authorization request and return if this request is valid. Make a single resource determination. The method is loosely based on the XACML model for structuring requests and response. These can be prefixed with a fully qualified namespace and ':'. If anything goes wrong in evaluating the request, the result will be false. No exception will be thrown.
        Parameters:
        resource - The properties that identify the resource.
        subject - The properties that represent the subject.
        action - A set of actions that are being requested on the resource.
        environment - A set of environment properties (hostname, time of day, etc.)
        Returns:
        decision Return true if the subject's action on the object given the environment is authorized.
