Hi Jamie,
I agree. I use local views for all editing--so yes--those BOs are in the same DS as the UI. My hope is that, if I cared to, I could transport the data to anther physical tier and the logic wouldn't really change. But there are lots of BOs that aren't edits. I hate the term Business Objects anyway. We are just creating classes that mimic real world nouns and verbs, which just means we are doing OOP.
