COM+ and ASP

[Lolita Groulx]

Hi,

I am new to the COM and COM+ technology.
I have created an asp page that uses a COM that have been created by
the team.

The dll have been register on the web server (the same machine where
is the asp code).

- Do I need to insert this COM in COM+ in order to use it in ASP?

- If I don't need to use it as an COM+ will I get any problem when it
creates multiple instances of the COM on the server?
It will create multiple instance when for example more then one client
execute the .asp page at the same time.

- What would be the advantage of using COM+?

Thanks in advance for your help

No

It depends on the design of the component - it shouldn't, if it is designed
well

- What would be the advantage of using COM+?

It wraps your component in a framework that provides additional services.

You may want to ask in microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.components to go into
depth on this question - this isn't the right forum for this.
