$context = App->context();
$call_dispatcher = $context->service("CallDispatcher");  # or ...
$call_dispatcher = $context->call_dispatcher();

$call_dispatcher->call($request, $response);
$response = $call_dispatcher->call($request);
$response = $call_dispatcher->call(%named);

Constructor Methods:

new()

The constructor is inherited from App::Service.

Public Methods:

call()

* Signature: @returnvals = $call_dispatcher->call($service, $name, $method, $args);
* Param:     $service           string  [in]
* Param:     $name              string  [in]
* Param:     $method            string  [in]
* Param:     $args              ARRAY   [in]
* Return:    @returnvals        any
* Throws:    App::Exception::CallDispatcher
* Since:     0.01

Sample Usage: 

@returnvals = $call_dispatcher->call("Repository","db",
    "get_rows",["city",{city_cd=>"LAX"},["city_cd","state","country"]]);

The default call dispatcher is a local call dispatcher. It simply passes the call() on to the local context for execution. It results in an in-process method call rather than a remote method call.

Protected Methods:

service_type()

Returns 'CallDispatcher';

* Signature: $service_type = App::CallDispatcher->service_type();
* Param:     void
* Return:    $service_type  string
* Since:     0.01

$service_type = $cdisp->service_type();
