About Defining the Web Service Inbound Dispatcher

The Web Service Inbound Dispatcher is a business service that is called by an inbound transport server component (or an outbound Web service dispatcher locally). This business service analyzes input SOAP messages containing XML data, converts the XML data to an XML hierarchy, maps the XML hierarchy to business service method arguments, and calls the appropriate method for the appropriate service (business service or process). After the called method finishes its execution, the Web Service Inbound Dispatcher converts the output arguments to XML data, and returns the XML embedded in the SOAP envelope. During this process, any errors are returned as SOAP fault messages.
