[Resolved] - COM+ Deployment

[vbXML]

Hi...here is my question on deployment. Is it okay if I deploy my data service components and business service components in the same COM+ app. That way I don't end up calling across process boundary?
thanks!

yes its ok to register more than one component within a COM+ app, but remember that if you have to change one of your components then both will have to go offline.

Also if the component is called by a web server (IIS) then it can run in process with the IIS process therefore eliminating the overhead of calling across the process boundary.

If you don't need to call the COM+ component remotely (from a different machine) then you should install it as a 'library' component/application.

You will therefore eliminate cross process performance degradation.

Thanks both of you. That's a great help!
