PDP Endpoint HTTP Servlet Extension

The PDP Endpoint HTTP Servlet Extension handles direct requests for policy decisions using the configured policy decision point service.

The PDP Endpoint HTTP Servlet Extension acts as an adapter for direct JSON-formatted XACML policy decision requests. It converts them to the internal format expected by the policy decision point service. Valid requests are passed to the decision engine, which produces a decision that the PDP Endpoint HTTP Servlet Extension again converts for client consumption.
