Imperius
 

 
 What is it? 
-----------
Imperius (Simple Policy Language) or SPL - Is a simple standards based
object-oriented policy language that allows expression of management
policies using condition-action rules. Imperius provides an extensible
set of over 100 operations for expressing conditions and actions.

Imperius is a generalization of the CIM-SPL language. Conversely,
CIM-SPL can be thought of as Imperius with CIM binding. Imperius can
be extended to create similar bindings for other environments. JavaSPL
(Imperius with Java binding) is another such example.


Prerequisites
------------
Imperius requires the following software modules:

* Antlr 2.7.6 or later.
Antlr parsing technology is used to parse the SPL policy files and can
be downloaded (as of 10/9/2009) from 
http://www.antlr2.org/download/antlr-2.7.6.tar.gz.  Testing has not
been done with Antlr 3.
