Brian,

I don't use the MM framework, but this is essentially the way we've handled it ... I think you're on the right track.

>Here an example scenario: suppose I have a web form that currently uses a business object, "boSomeBizObj", to get and save a dataset. The user modifies some of the data, posts back, binds back the data, and calls "boSomeBizObj.SaveDataSet()" to update the data. If I now want to modify the architecture so that I can expose that same functionality as a web service, what would be a good way to engineer this? Would I perhaps have a web service that takes the data (indluding mofications, somehow) as XML, translates it into a DataSet, then instantiates "boSomeBizObj" and passes the dataset to a call to SaveDataSet()?
