Back to this thread for a few moments... >>Your DTO should have every setter using 'string' as the argument type, because that's what every form variable is. Your BO, on the other hand, should have appropriate types. For example, the DOB field would be of type 'date'. This quickly demonstrates the need for two-stage validation, because the form field for DOB could happily contain "tee-hee", which would cause the setter on the BO to fail (because it's not a date).
Barney, would you equate the BO to a bean? If not, how do the BO and bean fit into a methodology? Can you type out a flow to demonstrate the layers?
