Automatic implementation of code to provide a communication service

An apparatus to combine standard policy code with complex policy code to implement a communication service, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media;
• a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the apparatus to:
• receive design policies for providing the communication service, wherein the design policies include standard policies and complex policies;
• automatically generate the standard policy code for implementing the standard policies, wherein one or more decoupled extension points are included in the standard policy code;
• provide the complex policies to a developer;
• receive, from the developer, the complex policy code for implementing the complex policies;
• insert the complex policy code into the standard policy code at the decoupled extension points to generate communication service code;
• and
• execute the communication service code to provide the communication service.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon for combining standard policy code with complex policy code to implement a communication service, the program instructions, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to:

• receive design policies for providing the communication service, wherein the design policies include standard policies and complex policies;
• automatically generate the standard policy code for implementing the standard policies, wherein one or more decoupled extension points are included in the standard policy code;
• provide the complex policies to a developer;
• receive, from the developer, the complex policy code for implementing the complex policies;
• insert the complex policy code into the standard policy code at the decoupled extension points to generate communication service code;
• and
• execute the communication service code to provide the communication service.
