RE: Requesting WSDL Files

For SOAP, a company may elect to have a single endpoint URI for 
a management intermediary which authorises, logs and possibly
adds to the message before routing it onto one of a large
number of services.

The qname of the message body element is typically used to 
identify the service and the operation name, though other 
mechanisms such as WS-Addressing, WS-MessageDelivery and even
soapAction may be used to route and dispatch the message to 
the actual service.

If not the URL, what mechanism is used to differentiate the service
between those customers, in practice?
