I take an entirely different approach.  I use a perl transport layer
client for communications, and all business rules regarding assembly and
disassembly should be in filePro.  

You might use externals to convert the requests/responses (I have a full
suite which goes from CSV to XML (and optionally on to JSON), and a reverse
path for responses, for ease of export/import with filePro. filePro calls
those as necessary.  (Literally, one client could handle nothing but CSV
format, and can -still- do their REST API work due to this.)  

But bundling all the logic in a central place makes the most sense to me.
