Summary: This book describes best practices for using Microsoft BizTalk Server to integrate applications that require a persistent client connection to them. It is written for advanced application integrators and for advanced developers responsible for integrating BizTalk Server with session-based applications within an enterprise. The sample included with this book demonstrates how a persistent TCP/IP connection can be maintained to a host server across multiple calls to an application integration component (AIC). The sample was developed using the Microsoft .NET Framework. In particular, the book and its sample code take a look at developing a communication manager using two separate approaches:
- COM+ object pooling
- Custom pooling
Both the COM+ object pooling approach and the custom pooling approaches will show you how to build a communication manager that:
- Establishes a connection
- Persists the connection
- Multiplexes the connection
- Limits the number of connections
- Manages the lifetime of the connection
