About the Book

This work starts by examining why we need to be able to implement and distribute code objects, and looks at the various systems of distribution that currently exist. The book then narrows the focus down to sharing data and functionality on Windows. This leads into an examination of COM, and from there, logically, to DCOM. It shows how DCOM builds on the foundations of COM and RPC. The reader should get to grips with the essentials of DCOM programming and build on this base with thorough coverage of MIDL, Microsoft's Interface Definition Language. MIDL allows one to define your interfaces, create Type Libraries and provide marshaling support. All of these topics are covered in depth and backed up with strong code examples written using the latest tools. The latter half of the book looks at the design and implementation of distributed applications. Each chapter covers a topic of prime importance to DCOM programmers. Security is fully explained, starting with the NT security model and exploring how it relates to DCOM. The book then shows how to write your DCOM servers as NT services, before being drawn into the murky world of multithreaded applications. The book shows how to use threads in Win32 and in DCOM servers, covers the different threading models and also looks at the issues of passing interface pointers between threads. Finally, it shows how Microsoft Transaction Server can ease the life of a DCOM developer as well as the new issues introduced by this product.

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1: Distributing Objects Distributed computing fundamentals and a comparison of available distributed systems, including Sockets, Inferno, Java, CORBA and COM. Chapter 2: Distributed Objects on Windows An examination of traditional methods of sharing code and data on Windows. Examples include a simple remote server. Builds up the concepts to provide you with a deeper understanding of COM. Chapter 3: The Component Object Model The structure of COM. Examines object creation, interfaces, Automation, marshaling and monikers. Chapter 4: Distributed Component Object Model Covers the essentials of DCOM - its relationship with RPC, relevant registry entries, its APIs and interfaces. Chapter 5: Writing DCOM Clients and Servers Microsoft's Interface Definition Language (MIDL) in detail. Looks at proxy-stub and type library marshaling, and connection points. Chapter 6: DCOM Under the Hood An investigation of DCOM internals and a comparison of DCOM with raw RPC. Chapter 7: Security A detailed breakdown of NT's security model and its application to DCOM. Chapter 8: DCOM Servers as NT Services Creating DCOM servers as NT services. An examination of the APIs and ATL services. Also shows event logging. Chapter 9: Multithreading An examination of threading with Win32, synchronization issues, multithreading techniques and DCOM's threading models. Chapter 10: Microsoft Transaction Server An overview of Microsoft Transaction Server. Examines MTS components and packages, security, threading and transactions. Appendix A: Debugging Tips

About the Author :
ATL took hold of Richard while he was part of a team developing a COM-based workflow system. Its elegance and symplicity had a lasting effect on him. Now, although Richard does not live an obsessively pure COM lifestyle, he finds that ATL gives him more time to enjoy his garden. Richard writes and advises on COM and ATL, and can be contacted via email at atl.dev@grimes.demon.co.uk.
