Hello, routing service only works for SOAP. You can't use it for a REST service. In your scenario, you can either create a single service or multiple services. If you use a single service, you can parse the request xml, and send a corresponding response. You don't have to identify which client sends the request. You can use the request xml to determine what response to send. If you use multiple services, you can host them in different addresses, and ask each client to connect to a specific service. Inside the service implementations, you can reuse some common logics if needed.
