Just a suggestion, pass the UserDto to the service layer and let the service layer do the conversion. Then you can look at <a href=" http://code.google.com/p/simple-object-assembler/";>Simple Object Assembler</a> to encapsulate the conversion. Hint: use automapWhenNoConverterFound property and you won't need to write any converters for Simple Object Assembler (assuming your properties follow a naming convention).
