>I'm kinda lost here and I have yet to find any detailed white papers concerning this subject.
Jeff,
I found some good information and examples in the book Designing Component-Based Applications by Mary Kirkland, ISBN: 0-7356-0523-8 on this same subject. I havent actually tackled stateless business objects myself yet, so I can't offer experienced advice, but I thought this reference might get you started.
