Figure 7; The Windows DNA Object Model
The presentation tier of Windows DNA can include CORBA clients using a
COM-CORBA bridge, ActiveX Controls running within a Web browser,
standalone applications, Internet Server API (ISAPI) programs, Active Server
Pages (ASP), and static Web pages. Clients use Microsoft's Active Directory to
locate middle tier components, and use DCOM to invoke methods on those
components. Messages may also be sent asynchronously using Microsoft
Messaging Service (MSMQ), COM+ events or queued component technology.
The business tier contains business and data logic encapsulated within COM+
components, which can be written in any language, which supports COM+. All
invocations to COM+ components are intercepted by the COM+ runtime and
delegated to the components. Thus giving COM+ runtime the opportunity to
perform middleware operations, such as transactions, security and object lifecycle
management. The data layer of the architecture is served by Active Database
Objects (ADO) along with Open Database Connectivity. An integration server
called Babylon from Microsoft provides connectivity to existing legacy systems
via proprietary protocols.
