About Ruleset Extension Points

A ruleset extension point associates a ruleset with an extension point and defines whether the ruleset executes before, after, or instead of the method defined by the extension point.

There are two types of ruleset extension points, and the type determines which of the two Ruleset Extension Point editors you use.

  • Specification-based ruleset extension points associate a ruleset with a specification-based extension point. You use the "Ruleset Extension Point Editor" when configuring these types of ruleset extension points.

  • Global ruleset extension points associate a ruleset with a global extension point. You use the "Ruleset Extension Point-Global Editor" when configuring these types of ruleset extension points.
