RE: [DUG]: DCOM clients

[Alan Rose]

You can implement callback routines through DCOM but of course you are relying on the client to be attached at all times. Another way is to simply have your client poll your server for custom messages that are stored by the server (much like email) so your client will eventually get the message. To the best of my knowledge either way you choose, your client software will need to provide a unique (custom) identifier so returned messages are processed by the right client.

Subject: [DUG]: DCOM clients

Hi all. I am looking at a solution, and I would like to use DCOM ifI can.

I wnat to have a client that connects to a DCOM Server. BUT Then I want to have the DCOM server talk to that specific client.

I inticipate there will upto 5 clients connecting to teh DCOM Server, but at one point I might only want to talk to client 2.

Is it possible to do this ? Does the client connection give the server any information that you can use to talk to it...like an identifying value etc.?

 

Thanks, Jeremy Coulter
