Quoting processor plugin

The Quoting Processor plugin interface (QuotingProcessorPlugin) provides the quoteSubmission method to generate a policy and obtain a quote. PolicyCenter requires an account and the producer code associated with the account to produce a quote. This method calls the Quoting Data plugin (QuotingDataPlugin) to retrieve an account. The quoteSubmission method queries the PolicyCenter database to find the producer code associated with the account.

The input parameters to quoteSubmission are:

• productCode – The product code, such as PersonalAuto or WorkersComp. This is the Code defined in Product Model → Products in Product Designer.
• policyPeriodData – The policy period data in XML format, XMLElement. This is the data with which to populate the policy period. In the default implementation, the method expects the data in Guidewire XML format (GX Model):

  gw.webservice.pc.pc900.gxmodel.quotingpolicyperiodmodel.PolicyPeriod

The quoteSubmission method sends the quoting data to the Quoting Data plugin. The plugin saves the quoting data to an external database. The quoteSubmission method does not commit the policy period to the PolicyCenter database.

The quoteSubmission method returns a QuoteData object. This object contains a quote identifier and the quoting data formatted as a policy period in GX model format.

Logging

The quoting processor plugin logs messages about quoting jobs (policy transactions) to the PCLoggerCategory.QUOTING category.
