Programming Windows Server 2003

 
This book focuses mainly on the new features of Windows Server 2003 and how you can integrate them into your existing infrastructure. These new changes heavily revolve around COM+, IIS 6, and web services. New features have been added to COM+ so that your applications (COM+ components) are much more stable and secure.



Some of the new COM+ features are:

• Application pooling and recycling
• Support for COM+ partitions
• The COM+ Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) service
• The Low-Memory Activation Gates service
• The ability to pause and disable applications
• The Process Dump tool

Much like IIS 6, COM+ applications can be pooled to run in the same worker process. They can also be recycled if something goes wrong with the application. The COM+ Partitions feature allows you to create and run multiple applications with different configurations on the same machine. For example, you can have a development and a production application (the same DLL) running on the same machine, which was not possible with previous versions of Component Services (which required you to have either a development or production version running, but not both at the same time).
