I'm trying to design a system that in the end must consist of a DCOM (Automation) based application server, an IntraWeb app to provide access to the application from the internet and a thin client Win32 exe to connect to the application server from within the LAN.
One of the nice things of IntraWeb is that it transparently maintains user context (sessions). In an automation server this can be done by exporting a session object. However, the IntraWeb app is cannot keep references to a COM object between two accessed of the same sessions, due to the fact that the two accesses may use different threads and the COM object reference can't be shared by those threads. So basically, the IntraWeb server can only use a COM object as long as it services a single HTTP request. So now the question is, how can I avoid having to create a stateless DCOM application server (which is something I don't want). Does anybody know if there's a standard solution for this on the market? Or maybe there's a technique I overlooked?
