Surrogate

[Mike Wild]

Is there a REAL sample for surrogates which is runable so I can play a little with this feature. The few samples I've found are all incomplete.

Thanks Mike

I've used a sample from Inside DCOM which I think gives you exactly the same as the default dllhost.exe surrogate, but within your own address space. Have you tried this sample ?

We placed a channel hook (which won't be supported in COM+) and played a bit with message filtering inside the sample.

Is there a possibility the get this sample, because we haven't got this book. Does this book also provide some other samples of advanced COM features?

Sorry about the delay in getting back, I needed to get the book in from work.

I've zipped up the sample and it is only 12K. However, I don't know how we're supposed to get samples across etc.

As for the book itself, it is well worth the money. When I first delved into all this, the only real help was MSJ. Since then, this book has come out and it covers all the usual stuff + a very good explanation of threading models, monikers, DCOM and what happens inside the actual TCP/IP packets that are sent.

If you can advise me how to get this sample across, I'll do it the next time I check the board.

Sorry about my delay, but I was in Holiday. The best way to send me the sample is to use the mailadress, which you see if you doubleclick my name.

Thanks a lot

I'm examing the whole surrogate stuff and have now a few good samples to play with( one from the Inside DCOM Book ). Now I have the problem that everything is working quite well localy on one machine, but when I try to go remote, I run into all kinds of problems.

My client is running under Win 95 and the server under NT 4.0. After a few tries with the launch, access... permissions I was successful to start the server, but the QueryInterface always fails with ACCESS_DENIED.

Any Ideas or hints

Mike

PS I bought the Inside DCOM Book -> really good!!!!
