I'm sure someone can give you a much more Comp.Sci. answer, but here's my "in the trenches" answer.
A business object is any object that you use to represent a business concept. Classic examples would be customer, address and order. A data transfer object is anything that you use to send data from either one part of program to another part or one program to another. The Struts Form objects are classic data transfer objects. Service requests are also usually data transfer objects. Note: Data transfer objects can sometimes carry business objects, but I've never seen a data transfer object inside a business object. Hope this helps.
