Method and apparatus for policy criteria generation

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
• receive an indication of a selected policy of one or more policies defined by a software program;
• generate a plurality of fields that are applicable to a criteria for a selected policy in response to receiving the indication of the selected policy, wherein the criteria comprises one or more criterion that define instances in which the selected policy is to be activated by the software program;
• enable a user to build a criterion that modifies the criteria for the selected policy, wherein the criterion is generated based on an indication of at least one selected field of the plurality of fields and an indication of an operation selection and a specified value associated with each selected field, wherein the software program is configured to use the criteria to determine an instance in which the selected policy is to be applied;
• determine a class name of a criteria context implementation based on a table name relating to the selected policy;
• and
• identify one or more table column records for one or more fields specified in the criteria context implementation, wherein the one or more table column records are usable for generating the plurality of fields.

A computer program product comprising:

• at least one computer readable non-transitory memory medium having program code instructions stored thereon, the program code instructions which when executed by an apparatus cause the apparatus at least to:
• receive an indication of a selected policy of one or more policies defined by a software program;
• generate a plurality of fields that are applicable to a criteria for a selected policy in response to receiving the indication of the selected policy, wherein the criteria comprises one or more criterion that define instances in which the selected policy is to be activated by the software program;
• and
• enable a user to build a criterion that modifies the criteria for the selected policy, wherein the criterion is generated based on an indication of at least one selected field of the plurality of fields and an indication of an operation selection and a specified value associated with each selected field, wherein the software program is configured to use the criteria to determine an instance in which the selected policy is to be applied;
• wherein generating a plurality of fields further comprises:
• determining a class name of a criteria context implementation based on a table name relating to the selected policy;
• and
• identifying one or more table column records for one or more fields specified in the criteria context implementation, wherein the one or more table column records are usable for generating the plurality of fields.
