The discussion is about making the the back-end / real services
endpoints available (like the stock quote service), so that
demonstrative samples could be written with Synapse. I am +1 on hosting
samples at our site.. but would also like to ship the source of these
sample Axis2 services so that one could deploy on their own if required.

This may not be quite what you guys mean talking about
hosting services, but there's already the fault mediator that can
return a fault directly based on the request so you could write your
own mediator to work just like the fault mediator but return a response
instead of a fault. Here's one using a _javascript_ mediator that works
with the existing StockQuoteClient sample:
<in>
<script.js><![CDATA[
var symbol = mc.getPayloadXML()..*::symbol;
mc.setPayloadXML(<ns:getQuoteResponse xmlns:ns="
http://services.samples/xsd">
<ns:return>
<ns:last>{symbol.toString().length}</ns:last>
</ns:return>
</ns:getQuoteResponse>);
mc.setTo(mc.getReplyTo());
mc.setResponse(true);
]]></script.js>
</in>
<send/>
Is this something that should be discouraged?

can host whatever useful samples are needed to demo synapse

take them.
I don't think we should corrupt the design or design in order to make
samples work better.
