service-only tests

Hi,

Here's something I'd like us to consider for future development. I've
been looking into writing some tests that I can not really write as unit
tests because the interfaces are so complex that I'd spend days
implementing mock objects. They are not real end-to-end tests either
because my tests make the service fail, i.e. there is nothing a client
could test.

An example is a service that I give an invalid WSDL on purpose. I'd like
to have a facility to test that the service really fails with the
correct exception.

Fabian
