Displaying a Summary of Entitlement for a Coverage Period

The Engine includes an interface for providing a summary description of the entitlement for a coverage period: curam.core.sl.infrastructure.assessment.impl.DeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy interface. See the JavaDoc for this interface for more details.

When you set up your product, you may specify an implementation of this interface that the Engine will use when displaying a coverage period. The Engine invokes this strategy implementation whenever it displays a coverage period for a determination, and the strategy implementation is responsible for returning an appropriate summary line of text (in the user's locale).

Note that:

• if you do not specify a strategy implementation for your product, then no summary for the coverage period will be displayed; and
• if you subsequently change the strategy implementation for your product, then only the display output shown to users is affected; the system will not reassess cases nor cause any changes in financial output.

As such, specifying a strategy implementation for entitlement summaries is not critical to getting your product up and running; this task can be deferred until later in the development cycle if need be.
