Microsoft Transaction Server Helps You Write Scalable, Distributed Internet Apps

摘要

Talk tO anyone building a multiuser enterprise server application and they will tell you about all sorts of interesting problems they solved that had nothing to do with the actual business logic. Complex problems relating to thread management, security authorization, and transaction support across multiple databases might come up. This article explains how Microsoft~® Transaction Server (MTS) 1.0 eliminates the need to work on low-level programming when building server applications, allowing developers to focus primarily on the server business logic. To illustrate MTS design and implementation decisions, we've built a sample Customer Maintenance program that exhibits the fundamental MTS development and deployment tasks. As we walk through the client and server code, we will point out requirements and suggestions for building your applications according to the MTS programming model. We've provided a glossary of MTS terminology in the sidebar "An MTS Glossary" for your general reference.
