    • Method Detail

      • getDescriptiveText

        java.lang.String getDescriptiveText()
        Returns any descriptive text for this marking set.

        A String value. This entry can be null.

      • isHierarchical

        boolean isHierarchical()
        Indicates whether or not the marking set has a hierarchical nature.

        A non-hierarchical marking set contains one or more marking items, each independent of one another.

        A hierarchical marking set has an order of precedence determined by the order in the set. Its markings are arranged in a simple, single branch hierarchy. The order of precedence is followed when evaluating access rights. Each marking has a superior marking except for the top marking, whose superior is null. A marking in a hierarchical marking set explicitly grants access rights to a set of security principals. It also implicitly grants the same rights for all markings that are inferior to it in the hierarchy.

        Returns:
        true if it has a hierarchical nature, false otherwise.
