message dispatch

(contributed by Hugo Haas)

Message dispatch processing represents the logic within a service that figures out what part of the implementation should be invoked in order to process this message. For example, upon receiving a message, the service will carry out message dispatch processing to determine what operation or method to submit the message to by analyzing the message contents.

With Web services, message dispatch logic is usually taken care of by runtime system agents that parse and then route the SOAP message to the appropriate operation. However, custom message dispatch processing can also be added to the service logic.
