Hi All,
 
I have noticed some inconsistency in the way we currently send outgoing messages from a handler. I noticed this one in Sandesha2 implementation and think that we need some definite way to do this at least for the modules that we implement.
 
Say, engine receive RM Specific Create message. We can interpret this message either in RMInHandle or RMMessageReceiver. In addition modules may have pre-dispatch handlers, in RM case we use one to eliminate duplicate messages.
 
If we interpret this from RMInHandler then we can stop that message from going through all the other handlers.
If we interpret this from RMMessageReceiver then this message will go through the handlers deployed for the service.
 
Now we need to send CreateSequenceResponse message from any of the above two locations.
If we send the response from RMInHandler we need to decide what is the handler configuration for this message. Is it all the handlers deployed for that service or only the handlers that are after the RMPhase? (RMHandlers deployed in RMPhase)
 
If we send the CreateSequenceResponse from RMMessageReceiver then this message will go through all the outgoing handlers deployed for that service.
 
IMHO we should interpret module specific messages using any handler in the module and if there is a response that we need to send for that, it should start from that phase. (not from the beginning of the handler flow)
So in this way, phase n will affect only to phase n+1 as shown in the attached diagram.
 
We need to decide the same thing from the pre-dispatch handlers as well. If one pre-dispatch handler want to send a response, then what are the handlers that we use in the response path.
 
Thoughts?
 
Thanks,
