In XperienCentral, the platform and the components are separated. This allows for a vigorous platform that gives developers the opportunity to easily build solutions or new products on top of the GX XperienCentral platform. GX XperienCentral separates the platform and components for the following reasons:

• With a platform, there is a much clearer distinction between customization and the standard product. By introducing the use of explicit APIs, with which functionalities can be added to the basic platform, the procedure for developers is much clearer. Among other things, this leads to a much more flexible and predictable method of executing updates and migrations than before.
• Partners who want to create their own product with XperienCentral as an OEM product underneath can also do this with the platform strategy.
• With this platform not only partners, but also GX Software itself , can easily realize new solutions or products.

  @Override
  protected
ComponentBundleDefinition getBundleDefinition() {
    ComponentBundleDefinitionImpl componentBundleDefinition =
      new ComponentBundleDefinitionImpl();   
componentBundleDefinition.setId(WCBConstants.BUNDLE_ID);   
componentBundleDefinition.setName(WCBConstants.BUNDLE_NAME);   
componentBundleDefinition.setNameSpace(WCBConstants.NAMESPACE_URI);   
componentBundleDefinition.setDescription(WCBConstants.BUNDLE_DESCRIPTION);   
componentBundleDefinition.setComponentDefinitions(getComponentDefinitions());   
    return componentBundleDefinition;
