Transactional COM+ : Building Scalable Applications, Used [Paperback]

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
