Introduction

Extensibility is a critical factor when selecting an architecture that can be enhanced with the speed of your organizations' needs. The ability to extend the system and hook in new system capability without making major infrastructure changes is necessary for system maintainability and for avoiding early obsolescence. The Oracle Insurance Policy Administration (OIPA) system provides several mechanisms for extensibility. Currently, all extensions are implemented as Java classes that are injected into specific points or levels in the OIPA infrastructure. Extension developers need only implement the requisite Java interfaces in order to access this powerful OIPA feature.

Note: Creating custom extensions should be viewed as a means to enhance the functionality of OIPA only when there are no means to achieve the same using OIPA's built-in configuration ability and when there are no such planned enhancements announced for near-future versions of the software.
