Yes, I'm not sure of the specifics myself but from my exploratory rummaging in the docs it looks like FDS handles all of that mapping. As I am using .NET on the server it looks like manual deserialization into my objects is the way forward.
I have begun implementing my app with the factory methods you suggested and all appears to be working well. Shame I can't get the object mapping without using Java/FDS. Perhaps once I have got to grips with it a bit more I might look into writing some sort of component for the web service users amongst us, which , judging by the volume of posts on this group regarding web services, amounts to a fair few folk.
