CD-1 issue #48: bag from attribute assignment expression

  • 1.  CD-1 issue #48: bag from attribute assignment expression

    Posted 09-11-2009 13:25
    The issue number refers to the XLS-sheet found in this email:
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200909/msg00013.html
    
    The comment proposes that bags should be allowed as the result of an 
    attribute assignment expression.
    
    Since this was my comment, naturally, I agree.
    
    I propose that we change the specification so that if the attribute 
    assignment expression evaluates to an atomic value, then the result is a 
    single attribute assignment. And if the attribute assignment expression 
    evaluates to a bag, then for each value in the bag there shall be an 
    attribute assignment in the obligation/advice. If the bag is empty, then 
    there shall be no attribute assignment corresponding to this attribute 
    assignment expression.
    
    Best regards,
    Erik
