Tutorial On Application Severs: Develop Killer Web Applications In VB..

Kindly see the attached ZIP for the article and associated projects. Anyway, here is a short introduction. As you know, now a days, the term Application
Server is becoming so hot. An Application Server
is a software that runs on the middle layer. I mean; it runs between a thin front end (in this case the web browser) and
back end servers.

Most Application Servers rely on Internet Servers, to pass
information/data to clients on the web. Application Servers are expected to support COM (Component Object Model) and/or CORBA (Common
Object Request Broker Architecture) frameworks.



In this case, we are creating an Application Server that supports COM interface.
After reading this, you can

• Get an idea about Application Servers.


• Create and use your own COM based Application Servers.


• Write directly to RESPONSE object from
  a COM component (Got it? Instead of passing a value back to a variable in ASP to write it to response object, write
  directly to response object from your component)


• See how to integrate additional logic (say your existing
  business COM objects) using our Application Server

Also, if you are the CEO of an IT/Web
company, don't forget to read about my ventures in the preface section
:-).  OOPS, forgot to tell all of you one thing; VOTE for me please,
because I took nearly 6-7 hours to write this completely :-) (ofcourse, the brain work is extra.lol.)
