At the moment I'am investigating on WCF and distributed transactions on the NHibernate transaction manager. The context is Unittesting over the wire in a .NET remoting scenario implemented with WCF. This a pain in the ass and not much experiences can be found when searching the internet. When this thing has been sorted out it opens the path to unittest Silverlight applications without using Mocks for testing. Is there anyone in the community who has experience on this?
So my request is to embed a Transaction Management mechanism to deal with the problem as described.

Distributed transactions are always difficult. It's the handicap service orientation has to deal with, not only in respect to unit testing, but for enterprise systems as a whole. For the Budapest project (Silverlight SOA) we have been working with WCF calls. The results were shown in the presentation I gave at the Microsoft DevDays 2008 (it was video taped, so I'm sure that it will be online within short notice). Most of all: using asynchronous calls in a multi-tier environment might cause spaghetti coding, difficult to manage for "regular" developers.
