MQSeries.net :: View topic - MQAX Threading Issues, COM/COM+ environment

Jesse Taylor

Hello..

I am developing an ASP-based web service using the MQAX library, and I have smashed head-on into the MQAX threading issues. They cause the entire service to behave single-threaded (and not just while waiting for a Get to return).

I see that these threading issues have been mentioned in this forum before, and that the premier solution is to move to a .NET library, but unfortunately .NET is not an option for me at this point.

Therefore, disgusted with MQAX, I am just about to embark upon trying to write my own C++ Free-threaded COM+ interface that will tie directly into the MQSI C API.

But this leaves me wondering WHY the MQAX library has the debilitating threading issues that it has? Is it because of some characteristic in the underlying architecture, that makes the COM environment difficult to manage? And am I just going to run into the exact same problems?
