Policies

Retrieve a specific policy import.

GET
https://ditto.eclipseprojects.io/api/2/policies/{policyId}/imports/{importedPolicyId}

Returns the policy import of the policy identified by the policyId path parameter and imported policy identified by the importedPolicyId path parameter.

Parameters

policyIdstringrequiredpath

The ID of the policy needs to follow the namespaced entity ID notation (see Ditto documentation on namespaced entity IDs).

The namespace needs to:

  • conform to the reverse domain name notation
importedPolicyIdstringrequiredpath

The ID of the imported policy needs to follow the namespaced entity ID notation (see Ditto documentation on namespaced entity IDs).

The namespace needs to:

  • conform to the reverse domain name notation
If-Matchstringheader

The If-Match header which has to conform to RFC-7232 (Conditional Requests). Common usages are:

  • optimistic locking by specifying the ETag from a previous HTTP response, e.g. If-Match: "hash:a75ece4e"
  • retrieving or modifying a resource only if it already exists, e.g. If-Match: *
If-None-Matchstringheader

The If-None-Match header, which has to conform to RFC-7232 (Conditional Requests). A common usage scenario is to modify a resource only if it does not yet exist, thus to create it, by specifying If-None-Match: *.

if-equalstringupdateskipskip-minimizing-mergeheader

The if-equal header can take the values 'update' (which is the default if omitted), 'skip' or 'skip-minimizing-merge'. If 'update' is defined, the entity will always be updated, even if it is equal before the update. If 'skip' is defined, the entity not be updated if it is equal before the update. In this case a 'Precondition Failed' 412 status is returned. If 'skip-minimizing-merge' is defined, the entity will not be updated if it is equal before the update. In this case a 'Precondition Failed' 412 status is returned. Additionally, merge/patch commands will be minimized to only the fields which actually changed, compared to the current state of the entity.

timeoutstringquery

Defines how long the backend should wait for completion of the request, e.g. applied when waiting for requested acknowledgements via the requested-acks param. Can be specified without unit (then seconds are assumed) or together with s, ms or m unit. Example: 42s, 1m.

The default (if omitted) and maximum timeout is 60s. A value of 0 applies fire and forget semantics for the command resulting in setting response-required=false.

Response

The request successfully returned completed and returned is the policy import.

Response headers
ETagstringheader

The (current server-side) ETag for this (sub-)resource. For top-level resources it is in the format "rev:[revision]", for sub-resources it has the format "hash:[calculated-hash]".

Response fields application/json

Single policy import defining which policy entries of the referenced policy are imported.

entriesArray<string>

The policy entries to import from the referenced policy identified by their labels. In case the field is omitted or an empty array is provided, all policy entries defined as implicit ("importable": "implicit") are imported.

transitiveImportsArray<string>

List of policy IDs from the imported policy's own imports that should be resolved transitively before extracting entries. This enables multi-level import chains where a template policy defines resources and an intermediate policy defines entries with "references" that add local subjects.

Each entry is the policy ID of a policy that the directly imported policy itself imports from. Only the listed policy IDs are resolved — this is an explicit whitelist, not a recursive flag.

Example
[
  "org.eclipse.ditto:policy-template"
]
Example
{
  "entries": [
    "default",
    "import"
  ]
}
304Not Modified

The (sub-)resource has not been modified. This happens when you specified a If-None-Match header which matches the current ETag of the (sub-)resource.

Response headers
ETagstringheader

The (current server-side) ETag for this (sub-)resource. For top-level resources it is in the format "rev:[revision]", for sub-resources it has the format "hash:[calculated-hash]".

412Precondition FailedAdvancedError

A precondition for reading or writing the (sub-)resource failed. This will happen for write requests, if you specified an If-Match or If-None-Match header, which fails the precondition check against the current ETag of the (sub-)resource. For read requests, this error may only happen for a failing If-Match header. In case of a failing If-None-Match header for a read request, status 304 will be returned instead.
