Message destinations and message plugins

Each message destination encapsulates all the necessary behavior for an external system, but uses three different plugin interfaces to implement the destination. Each plugin handles different parts of what a destination does. Thus:

• The message request plugin handles message pre-processing.
• The message transport plugin handles message transport.
• The message reply plugin handles message replies.

You register new messaging plugins in Studio first in the Plugins editor. After you create a new implementation, Studio prompts you for a plugin interface name, and, in some cases, a plugin name. Use that plugin name in the Messaging editor in Studio to register each destination.
