ONAP Supported Policy Types
***************************
-In ONAP the following Policy Types are supported. Each Policy Type is implemented as an application that extends the **XacmlApplicationServiceProvider**. For details on each implementation, please refer to the `applications submodule of the onap/xacml-pdp project <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=policy/xacml-pdp.git;a=tree;f=applications;h=047878fe14851d8a51998e065b8aca583ed8c994;hb=refs/heads/elalto>`__.

By cloning the policy/xacml-pdp repository, one can run the JUnit tests to get a better understanding on how applications are built using translators and the XACML Policies that are generated for each Policy Type. Each application supports one or more Policy Types and an associated "action" used by the Decision API when making these calls.

+Native XACML Policy Type
+=======================
+This Policy type is used by any client or ONAP component who has the need of native XACML evaluation. A native XACML policy or policy set encoded in XML can be created off this policy type and loaded into the XACML PDP engine by invoking the PAP policy deployment API. Native XACML requests encoded in either JSON or XML can be sent to the XACML PDP engine for evaluation by invoking the native decision API. Native XACML responses will be returned upon evaluating the requests against the matching XACML policies. Those native XACML policies, policy sets, requests and responses all follow the `OASIS XACML 3.0 Standard <https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml>`__.

+According to the XACML 3.0 specification, two content-types are supported and used to present the native requests/responses. They are formally defined as "application/xacml+json" and "application/xacml+xml".

Supporting Custom Policy Types
******************************
In order to support your own custom Policy Type that the XACML PDP Engine can support, one needs to build a Java service application that extends the **XacmlApplicationServiceProvider** interface and implement a **ToscaTranslator** application. Your application should register itself as a Java service application and expose it in the classpath used to be loaded into the ONAP XACML PDP Engine. Ensure you define and create the TOSCA Policy Type according to these :ref:`Policy Design and Development <design-label>`. You should be able to load your custom Policy Type using the :ref:`Policy Lifecycle API <api-label>`. Once successful, you should be able to start creating policies from your custom Policy Type.
