I would Love to post a link. Below is a link to the MSA 2.0 Home Page. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/itsol utions/msa/default.asp
This is a link you might want to go straight to. It is all about Blueprints for Middle Ware or MIDL ware as I jokingly call it. I am guessing this is where most of your current COM+ applications reside today. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/itsol utions/msa/msa20rak/VMHTMLPages/VMHtm44.asp I do not really understand how .Net web services are more complicated and inefficient than COM+. In COM+ ADO I have to fully type cast a Record Set to another Record set, which I check against the Business Model again before passing to the caller as a referenced disconnected record set. Not to mention that for every com app running I loose at least 3 threads in the CPU Queue when nothing at all is happening. With .Net Web Services I fill a dataset and serialize it to the outgoing XML Data Stream. For inbound messages I de-serialize the inbound XML and if it passes the Business/Facade rules (a.k.a. Interface Contract) then I pass the data on to the proper area<s>. If everything works the caller gets a True, and they at least get a false response if the message is rejected. For me it has always been faster and less complicated to use .NET (or SAX Xml messaging) service based components than exposing COM and COM+ services. Of course since the latest COM+ services support SOAP the lines between the two are getting thinner all the time. -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

Can you post a link? I can't imagine any way in which web services replace COM+. In fact, the only use I can find for web services is communication between disparate platforms. For any other application, I have found that they only increase complexity and decrease efficiency. -- Steve Johnson =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: NEW!
