To be completely stateless you would pass the desired data type to a method of the business object (i.e. FetchData()) and it would retrieve the data in the specified format.
>How will that type of thing work work in a COM/MTS environment? Does that business object you instantiate imply some sort of STATE?>
In the upcoming version of the Framework I'll have some documentation explaining how all of this works with MTS/COM+ and a two-part emissary/executant business object structure. In this structure, the emissary CAN be stateless, but doesn't have to be, whereas the executant is always stateless and is the portion of the business object that runs under MTS/COM+.
