Hi Harris,
Glad to know that those info are useful to you.
My possible solution, which might not be the perfect one is:
1. There's only one local.php - and you may be able to register only one set
of services.
2. In the registered service, you may like to dispatch the requests
according to their containerId parameter, which is embedded in the security
token, pseudo-code as following:
*function DispatcherPeopleService() {
if (containerId == "SNS_alpha") {
// call sns_alpha's people service
} else if (containerId == "SNS_beta") {
// call sns_beta's people service
} ... {
// default handler
// or, you may like to register all the services into an array, and call
it:
// call_user_func(peopleServices[containerId], ...);
}
}
*
Regards,
Jacky
