Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a service wrap framework, a message from a first endpoint, the message being directed toward a primary service that is wrapped within the service wrap framework, wherein the service wrap framework comprises applications or services that supplement or enhance the primary service, and wherein the service wrap framework comprises routing mechanisms for intercepting and re-routing messages directed toward the primary service before the primary service receives the message; reviewing, at the service wrap framework, the intercepted message to determine whether a feature has been requested by the first endpoint; determining, by the service wrap framework, that at least one requested feature is not supported by the primary service; identifying, by the service wrap framework, an entity that is capable of providing the at least one requested feature not supported by the primary service; altering sender information associated with the intercepted message; directing, by the service wrap framework, the intercepted message to the identified entity that is capable of providing the at least one requested feature not supported by the primary service; receiving, at the service wrap framework, the message back from the identified entity; and altering, by the service wrap framework, sender information associated with the message received from the identified entity.
