in thread method dispatch question

So, you have this idea of multiple actions that can be taken, but on an object instead of just as regular dispatch. So, something like an event loop?
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Basically yes, only that it is not really an event loop (no GUI involved). It is a server which has instantiated several objects providing services. We get requests which ask for a special service. We calculate out of the request a key describing the service, and use this to dispatch to the respective service method.
