IMO the majority of cases are read only actions. They could be solved in
theory by:

- coding a repository which fetches data from the webservice and
instantiates the model object,
- coding the correspondent model without setters, where the constructor
sets the properties using the values from the repository.

The model provides data with usual getters and can be used transparently
in extbase/fluid.

If pages change too often and webservice has limited performance,
caching of fetched data could also be an option.
