Design pattern to distinguish call as Web Service vs. Local?

Service locator + Factory is exactly what you need. The code , in my humble opinion, should look like this.

You can use Dependency Injection. If clients are unaware of where service are located (whether locally or remote), they should depends on abstractions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
