How to setup spring.net dependency injection for a web service?

I have been handed a wsdl file + a number of xsd type definition files - the service I need to code against is not ready yet and I need to put together a fake service (so called a stub or mock) in order to be ready when the real thing comes along.

My question is - once I get the interface I need to implement from the wsdl, how do I setup dependency injection so that whenever the new service comes along I can add a service reference or a web reference and just edit the spring.net config file to swap in the service I开发者_JAVA百科 want in the consumer? Is it even possible?

I found this article, specific to WCF, It's pretty good but he seems to have access to the service code and he's doing dependency injection on the service side rather than on the consumer side - in my case I will most likely just get a url, I will have to swap it with the fake local one and go from there.

Also is there a way of doing this only dependent on the way I consume the service but not on the way the service was put together? I mean, I shouldn't care less which technology was used to develop the service as long as I get a url to the wsdl.

Any pointers appreciated!

Just create an interface which maps to the webservice methods and use that on the client side. It doesn't matter if it's a local service, webservice, or whatever.

I've done what you are trying to do before, you can read about it here.
