I'm looking at COM+ 1.5 and Components Without Services. It looks awesome, but what about the host for these components? Do I write my own host? If so, haven't I traded an awful lot using CWS? Don't get me wrong, I do understand the price I'm paying by inheriting from ServicedComponent, it's an ugly world of strongly-named assemblies, regsvcs and GAC (at least that's what I've experienced so far, I'm new to this so if there's a way around these things I'm all ears). But does CWS force me to write my own host? If so, don't I lose all the related COM+ niceties like application recycling? Do I have to write a windows service for anything that would have been a COM+ application? I don't have to write any code for the host process in the other scenario. Or am I missing something?
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. I'm in the midst of making this critical decision on where to host our services (win svcs, IIS/remoting, COM+) and I'm going out of my mind.... Thanks!
