WCF Distributed Application Block Description

The name WDAB stands for WCF Distributed Application Block. WDAB adds location transparency to WCF services by providing a hosting environment which enables moving services from host to host at runtime. It also enables load-balancing scenarios by instantiating multiple instances of same service across many hosts. WDAB creates another abstraction level on top of WCF. WDAB services don't care about bindings and addresses, only contracts. Services can be transfered from one host to another at runtime, transparently to their clients. Clients discover services simply by requesting reference to service contract. The underlying infrastructure takes care of finding least loaded server. WDAB also provides facilities to apply aspect oriented concepts (using Castle.DynamicProxy), but this function will be removed as WDAB will move to Unity 1.2.
