Callable Document-handlers

The major difference between using and not using a SmartRouter is in the packaging. As Figure 6–8 illustrates, the SmartB2BObject/SmartDataObject pairs that handle a particular document type are packaged separately. Similarly, a SmartRouter and SmartConsumer can be packaged together, if desired.

The package used in each case is the Simple SmartContainer.

The Simple SmartContainer is a specialized organizer object. It has no run-time representation. You would typically use it only when creating packages such as those illustrated in Figure 6–8. Being able to package components without a user interface is particularly useful when your message-consuming process is to run in batch mode, without human intervention.
