intermediate node

[Johannes Postma]

I have a question about how to implement/create an intermediate node.

Header blocks are processed by an intermediate node or by the ultimate receiver. JAX-RPC doesn't provide support for processing header blocks, so this must be done by a message handler. Message handlers are part of a JSE or an EJB endpoint.

Because an intermediate node isn't a JSE or an EJB endpoint and doesn't have message handlers how can this intermediate node than process a header block?

In my opinion this could only be done with an ordinary servlet with a message handler. But is this correct.
