Job process creation plugin

The job process creation plugin (JobProcessCreationPlugin) creates a new job process for a policy period entity based on its job subtype. Its one method, called createJobProcess, takes a PolicyPeriod entity and returns an instance of a JobProcess. For example, for a policy change job, this plugin creates a PolicyChangeProcess object. The included version of this plugin creates job processes for all built-in job subtypes.

If you create subtypes of one or more of the built-in job process classes, you must detect your new subtypes in this method. Check the value of Job property on the PolicyPeriod and check its subtype. Next, instantiate your own job process subtype and return it.

Use the code of the included version of this plugin as a template for your version.
