title: Accessing a stateful service
body: <p>I have been researching Azure's Service Fabric Reliable Services and looking at the samples too.</p>
  
  <p>I am now building a simple proof-of-concept application with a recommended setup: A stateless Web API service with a stateful service behind (1 partition).</p>
  
  <p>I've been going round in circles trying to find the easiest way for the API service to talk to the stateful service behind. It looks like the stateful service will have to exposed using Web API too (as shown in the example WordCount app). </p>
  
  <p>Am I correct thinking that in order to consume a stateful service it needs to expose itself via HTTP/WCF etc. using something like <code>OwinCommunicationListener : ICommunicationListener</code> from the examples?</p>
