Hi, Roger won't come to Spain, only US & Canada it seems. Too bad !
I've just been through a COM+ presentation and I can say it is(will be?)
a fine piece of technology. It includes almost everything I can think of
to develop, deploy and administer enterprise apps. So instead of buying
1. a machine with an operating system (let's say UNIX)
2. an app server including EJB and JMS, maybe also JSP/Servlets
3. a web server (can be free, open source such as Apache or included in the
app server)
4. a Servlet/JSP engine (can be Apache or included in the app server)
5. an LDAP directory
6. a database
you can simply buy
1. a machine with Windows 2000 including:
+ Active Directory which is an LDAP directory
+ ADSI instead of JNDI
+ ADO instead of JDBC (BTW ADO 2.1 is far more functional than JDBC 2.0
with features such as asynch operation, more events, automatic conflict
detection,
can use HTTP, RDS, language neutrality, HTML/JavaScript compatible,
etc)
+ IIS instead of Apache or whatever web server
+ COM+/MTS instead of EJB
+ COM+ Events instead of JMS, including a great console to administer the
service.
+ Component Queues instead of... well, Sun still has to "specify"
something like this.
It can be emulated in J2EE passing serialized Command objects through
JMS.
+ HTTP load-balancing
+ Components load-balancing... well, someday when it's released.
+ Microsoft Management Console (MMC) instead of another propietary
app server console.
2. a database
Too bad ASP is so unsatisfactory compared to servlets/JSP.
I'd say COM+ is something to consider seriously if your client
uses Wintel servers.
