Jim,
>>Check out the paper on N-tier development at my web site. It covers some things about the subject.
I read your paper a few weeks ago, and enjoyed it very much. I've been meaning to ask you how the approach outlined in the paper would apply to business and/or data object components running under MTS -- I'm referring mostly to state issues.
Have you done much with MTS, and if so, did you have to use a different approach to go stateless, or would you use the same stateful approach under MTS?
