SynopsisBuilding enterprise-scale distributed applications is incredibly difficult. Microsoft built COM+ to help, but most developers don't understand it well enough to achieve their goals. In Transactional COM+ , Tim Ewald gives developers the comprehensive foundation they need to build business-critical systems with COM+. Ewald explains exactly what problems COM+ aims to solve -- including why it is so difficult to build scalable systems using traditional object-oriented techniques, and how object-oriented style must change in order to build enterprise-scale distributed systems. Next, Ewald introduces COM+ in detail, explaining why COM+ works the way it does, and what the technology's behavior implies about designing effective systems with COM+. Understand how COM+ exposes runtime services to developers; how to leverage application server technologies in the COM+ environment; and the key up-front design decisions you need to make to achieve maximum performance and scalability. Throughout the book, Ewald presents concrete guidelines and best practices for COM+ development -- and shows exactly what common mistakes to avoid. For enterprise developers working on Windows 2000 platforms, there's never been a more valuable resource. For all enterprise developers and designers who are familiar with COM and are now seeking to build distributed systems with COM+ and Windows 2000., Building scalable distributed systems that efficiently perform enterprise-critical functions is incredibly challenging. Microsoft developed COM+ to help. COM+ is a sophisticated runtime environment for COM components. It is designed to make the development of scalable systems easier and is the foundation for higher-level frameworks such as BizTalk and Site Server Commerce Edition. But you cant use COM+ effectively if you dont understand how it works. Transactional COM+ explains how COM+ works and shows readers how to use the technology to its fullest potential as a framework for developing scalable applications. It examines the theory behind COM+, including the nature of scalability, why traditional object-oriented models are inappropriate for scalable systems, and the importance of transactions. The book explores how the two basic atoms of context and causality are used to implement COM+ runtime services. It introduces apartments and activities and the role they play in controlling concurrency in a COM+ process. It also introduces transaction streams and explains how they are used to integrate objects and transactions. Ewald shows how just-in-time activation and object pooling tog, Tim Ewald, COM columnist for DOC Magazine, explains how COM+ works, and then sets out specific rules intended as concrete guidelines to help developers build COM+ systems.
