LSA Course : "Framework" VS "Component Application"
Hello,
It seems to be overall recognized that using a "Framework" is not a viable design choice unless under very specific circumstances.
For example, the course says: "When using the New Application Wizard do not use the "Framework" option purely for the sake of future-proofing. Maintaining a framework comes at a cost that cannot be justified without clear evidence for its need. "
I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why the same reasoning does not seem to be applied in regards to component applications.
In my view, a component application does not differ much from a framework. It's just the logical evolution of a framework since Pega allow multiple built-on application.
It's still a "reuse layer" that can be specialized.
So my question would be in what kind of situation should a component application be recommended over simply having 1 ruleset per case type? Should it follow the same reasoning as for the framework? Aka a clear requirement for reuse? Or just the fact that some functionalities "go together" justify the choice of making a component?
Kind regards.
