Com+ and the Battle for the Middle Tier

By Roger Sessions

COM+ is the next generation of COM, DCOM and MTS. Microsoft's answer to CORBA and Enterprise JavaBeans, COM+ aims to provide the foundation for all of Microsoft's enterprise technologies, including databases, programming languages and messaging. In this book, author, Roger Sessions provides an unbiased introduction and overview of COM+, discussing its application to the middle tier of client/server architectures, the tier which connects and is responsible for communication between the client and data tiers. The importance of this development lies in its relevance to Microsoft in terms of architecture - COM allowed them to gain almost complete control of the client tier, and now, with COM+, they are looking to dominate the middle tier.
