SAIF.Business.Policy overview

Documentation context: Embedded library (local project reference within this repository)

SAIF.Business.Policy is a mid-tier VB.NET class library (target framework v4.6.2) with no program entry points. It provides a small set of retrieve-only BOF business objects, cached code-table lookups, cross-cutting policy interfaces/enums/constants, and a static ad hoc data-access helper class consumed by richer downstream policy libraries and the presentation/view business tier.*

Purpose

• Provide retrieve-only hazard-group lookups (clsHazardGroup/clsHazardGroupCollection), cached code-table wrappers (clsBenefitJurisdictionCodeMap, clsManualClassTypeCodeMap), cross-layer policy contracts (IPolicyHeaderDataProvider, IPolicyAssociationType, iPeriodRatingInfo, iPolicyPeriodBase), and shared enums/constants used across the policy domain.
• Consumed by SAIF.Business.View.Policy (implements IPolicyAssociationType/IPolicyHeaderAssociation), and referenced (project-level, not member-traced) by SAIF.Business.Policy.Core, SAIF.Business.Policy.Rating, SAIF.Business.Policy.Premium, and SAIF.Application.Policy.*

Responsibilities

• Supply read-only BOF business objects for hazard-group classification data.
• Supply cached, lazily-loaded code-table lookups built on the framework's clsCodeTableBase.ExtendedCodeMap†.
• Define cross-cutting policy contracts, enums, and constants implemented/consumed downstream.
• Supply ad hoc static scalar/stored-procedure data-access helpers via PolicyInformation that bypass the standard BOF business-object pattern.

Key components

• clsHazardGroup / clsHazardGroupCollection: retrieve-only BOF objects for HAZARD_GROUP lookups.
• CodeMaps.clsBenefitJurisdictionCodeMap / clsManualClassTypeCodeMap: cached code-table maps.
• PolicyInformation: static ad hoc data-access helper for policy scalar/stored-procedure lookups.
• IPolicyHeaderDataProvider, IPolicyAssociationType, IPolicyAssociation, IPolicyHeaderAssociation, iPeriodRatingInfo, iPolicyPeriodBase: shared cross-layer contracts.
• Enums, Constants: shared domain enums and constants.
