In some ways yes - but all of the data about the request is passed to
"locate"
not "invoke" because it assumes that "locate" will actually do the work to
find the web service and verify that you can call it before it is actually
invoked.
The locate method will need to stash any of the data passed in so that the
invoke method has it available (if needed).

from what I can see you dont actually need to do anything in the locate
method if you dont want to. in a simple hello world I assume that method
be empty. I see it like the init of a servlet.
