Spring.Services module provides following features:
Goals
This part of Spring.NET is in preliminary status as of Spring.Net 0.6
The main goal of Spring.Services is to provide location transparency for business services. We believe that users should be able to implement services the simplest way possible, using service interfaces and implementations in the form of plain .Net classes. We also think that decision on how a particular service is exposed to clients should be a configuration concern and not an implementation concern.
Spring.Services provides infrastructure that alows you to expose any normal object as a web service, enterprise (COM+) service or [remoting object] using service exporter definitions in the configuration file.
We believe that this approach will also provide the easiest migration path to Indigo. As long as your services are coded against interfaces and implemented as regular classes, we should be able to implement Indigo exporter for them once the Indigo ships.
In the meantime, you get the benefit of being able to expose business services any way you find appropriate using existing exporters and Spring configuration.
