This topic describes differences between message handlers and logical handlers.
Message Handlers | Logical Handlers |
---|---|
SOAP over HTTP or XML over HTTP. | Protocol agnostic and cannot change any protocol specific parts (like headers) of a message. |
If you are using SOAP over HTTP, the contents of the SOAP Body forms the payload. If you are using XML over HTTP, the XML content of the primary part of the message becomes the payload. | Only acts on the payload and the context of the message. |
