A Gateway is an HL7-artefacts aware application which executes business rules, and forwards/ copies/ amends/ transforms interactions (messages or batched messages) based on those business rules. In order to perform those business rules, a Gateway is always an HL7 application that is listed as the receiver of the incoming interactions and sender of the outgoing interactions (just like any other HL7 Application).
