About this Item

341 Pages with a Comprehensive Index. No marks, underlining, or stamps. Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) is a technology that provides many powerful tools to the COM and DCOM programmer. The transactions it is capable of maintaining allow for highly scaleable database access with a high level of fault tolerance, allowing the developer to abort modifications smoothly, and roll back, resources to their original state with the minimum of effort. A knowledge of MTS is becoming ever more important with the advent of COM+, which is in many ways an integration of MTS with COM. MTS is also about distributed transactions, and the multi-machine deployment options available allow much more flexibility than using plain DCOM. An added bendit is that it achieves this !n a more user-friendly way than has previously been possible. In addition, MTS introduces the object context, which provides control over security and transaction requirements above and beyond the simple apartment requirements of plain COM objects. Contents In 8 Chapters: Interception, MTS and COM, Programming Issues, Packages and Deployment, The Distributed Transaction Coordinator, Security, MTS Debugging, and The Way Forward. Plus Appendix A: MTS Events, and Introduction. Large heavy book that may incur additional charges for priority shipping to some locations.

About this title

Synopsis

MTS ( Microsoft Transaction monitor ) is a Transaction Monitor and an Object Request Broker in one box. It comes free with all flavors of NT and may well be in all flavors of Windows in the next year.

MTS is needed to have easily distributed applications using COM. Without it, DCOM is a continuous headache of juggling code and communications between objects.

MTS is a brilliant way to manage COM objects, groups of objects, and components - the book is a deconstruction of how it achieves this.

Now, although Richard does not live an obsessively pure COM lifestyle, he finds that ATL gives him more time to enjoy his garden.
