And this is used for both reading and writing data?
So you have a DLL component registered on a .Net web server, somewhere, not necessarily the same web server that is serving up your web presentation, correct?
This is a new one for me. They are using a 'DMZ' where I am at.
So the user via the internet goes through the firewall to the web server. the web server does the presentation.
but for data access it goes through a DMZ (demilitarized ?? this is the new one to me) then on to an 'App' server via web services, which is really another web server the way I understand it. that final web server then connects to the database (directly)
so it sounds like the same thing you are referring to.
anyone know of any urls explaining this maybe?
does this last web services server then handle both the writing and reading of the data? reading obviously because it is tossing back datasets via XML, but what about writing?
AH! I am guessing that is why I saw the serialize tag in all the data access components. So they can serialize to XML for another server or something like that?
