[ebxml-dev] Interface between MSH and Applications

[Patrick Yee <kcyee@csis.hku.hk>]

Hi Everybody,

We have a question about the interface between MSH and applications. In the specification, there is a layer called Message Service Interface (MSI). The application will be talking to MSI to access the functionalities provided by MSH. My question is: will a MSH serve only one application? Or a MSH will serve multiple applications through MSI?

 

Why we have this question is that, if the latter case is true, we have to define an identifier for each application using the MSH, so that the MSH can dispatch the ebXML message received to the corresponding application. Is there such an identifier defined in the specification?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

-Patrick
