public interface IPolicy
Interface to a policy. The policy evaluates the request for correctness and completeness. It may change or add to values stored in the request. The policy object also decides whether a request should be queue to await approval by an agent. FUTURE: In this case, the policy should set the 'agentGroup' entry in the request to indicate the group of agents allowed to perform further processing. If none is set, a default value ("defaultAgentGroup") will be set instead.- Version:
