ABSTRACT:
The evaluation of a policy can be delayed until all rules criteria needed for evaluation are available. Also, new types of rules criteria can be registered without requiring changes to a rules engine. A policy manager allows rules to be evaluated and decisions made at different stages of the request handling. The policy manager facilitates interaction with the rules engine until all criteria are evaluated. The policy manager also allows modules developed by third parties to provide notification when criteria can be decided and thus complete evaluation.
