Detailed Description

rwsf::Connector is the handle of a bridge pattern where the implementation is defined via rwsf::ConnectorImp. A connector provides an end point for services and creates rwsf::MessageInfo objects specific to the endpoint and external payload which are then passed through the handler chain with which the connector is configured.

If you wish to create custom connectors, derive from rwsf::ConnectorImp.
