Hi Dan:

The issue with the MessageContext API is that it's just about identical to another pattern we already have, namely Handlers.  Why not just make your service provider a Handler and use its invoke()?  And even if you still do want to use the MsgProvider for some reason, you can always just call MessageContext.getCurrentContext() in your backend method.

Sound OK?
