- But this has obvious advantages if you are only using Windows
- J++ does integrate well with COM objects
- COM+ includes a transaction and persistence service
- Comparable to EJB or CORBA/OTS
- Licensing is free
- COM is not language specific although C++ is somewhat favoured
- Tools are fairly mature, IDE wizards, etc.
- Best integration is with Visual Basic
- [CORBA could benefit a lot with a similar integration to Java]
- Like EJB, supports distributed GC
