Changes to messaging plugin code

With very few exceptions, it is not possible for messaging plugin code to create new objects. In previous PolicyCenter releases, Guidewire permitted messaging code to create the following objects only:
  • Activity objects
  • Note objects
  • Workflow objects
  • WorkQueue and WorkItem objects

New in PolicyCenter 10.0.2 is the ability to create OutboundRecord objects in messaging plugin code.

Rate routines JAR file

If PolicyCenter is configured to load Guidewire Rating Management components on system startup, you can further improve system startup time by using a rate routines JAR file. Use this feature if you have so many rate routines that startup time is unacceptably long.

Note:

The precompile rate routine JAR file feature is not supported on JBoss application servers.

Validation in PCF files

This release includes a few enhancements to validation in PCF files:
  • If class-based validation fails on a coverage term, you can highlight the coverage term and link the error message to that coverage term.
  • If validation fails on a step dynamically generated by a Wizard Step Iterator, the error message can link to that step.
  • You can link to and highlight a coverage term, or other dynamically derived, field that fails class-based validation in a popup.

Changes to APIs

WebServiceProfiler

Guidewire has modified the WebServiceProfiler API to require three arguments (rather than two). The new API is:
  • WebServiceProfiler(String serviceName, String operationName, String traceabilityId)

The new argument is traceabilityId. The API now provides the ability to pass a traceability ID to the web service profiler. A Traceability ID is a String UUID that Guidewire uses to track a single user transaction or operation across multiple logging statements.
