EAI Dispatch Service
Uses rules to evaluate the structure and contents of property
sets (instances); data that matches a rule is sent to a specified
workflow or business service
Optionally transforms the data before sending it
Example: Dispatch rules scan incoming documents for various
patterns, then send each document to the proper workflow
