Rules

Question 1

How does directed inheritance differ from pattern inheritance?

Answer 1

Pattern inheritance allows you to reuse rules within a single application. Directed inheritance allows you to reuse rules in other applications, including standard rules provided as part of the Pega Platform.

Question 2

What type of relationship is described by pattern inheritance?

Answer 2

Pattern inheritance describes the business relationship between classes. Pattern inheritance indicates the reusability of rules throughout an organization, such as whether a rule is usable by a single case type, an entire department, or even an entire organization.

Question 3

From which class does @baseclass inherit rules?

Answer 3

None. In a Pega application, @baseclass is the ultimate base class. All other classes inherit from @baseclass.
