This tutorial is written for developers who need to programmatically create new policies, change existing policies, or validate new and existing policies. The ACPolicy application programming interface (API) lets you read, create, manipulate, and validate autonomic computing policies defined by Policy Management for Autonomic Computing (PMAC). The ACPolicy API is designed to simplify interaction with these XML policies, and provide an interface that may be used to create error-free policies.
