Argument definitions

request

The wsb.request OMX that was returned from a call to wsb.wait-for-request

The wsb.request-name function is used in either the server or service program to retrieve the service name being requested. This function would typically be used by the server program so that it can determine whether to add a mapping for the unknown request, handle the unknown request itself, or write an error to the client. It may also be used in a service program which is designed to provide more than one service. If the request is not for a recognized service type, then an exception will be thrown. The criteria for whether or not the request will be recognized are outlined in the wsb.has-known-request-type function. That function can thus be used to determine whether or not it's safe to call wsb.request-name.
