The server-based component of Microsoft’s Active
Platform. Comprised of a set of technologies that includes DCOM (distributed
component object model), Active Server Pages, Microsoft Transaction Server, and
message queues, Active Server provides support for developing component-based,
scalable, high-performance Web applications on Microsoft Windows NT servers.
Active Server is designed to allow developers to concentrate on creating
Internet and intranet software in a variety of languages without having to focus
on the intricacy of the network itself. See also Active
Desktop, Active Platform, Active
Server Pages, ActiveX..
Active Server Pages :-. A Web-oriented technology developed by Microsoft that is designed to enable server-side (as opposed to client-side) scripting. Active Server Pages are text files that can contain not only text and HTML tags as in standard Web documents, but also commands written in a scripting language (such as VBScript or JavaScript) that can be carried out on the server. This server-side work enables a Web author to add interactivity to a document or to customize the viewing or delivery of information to the client without worrying about the platform the client is running. All Active Server Pages are saved with an .asp extension and can be accessed like standard URLs through a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. When an Active Server Page is requested by a browser, the server carries out any script commands embedded in the page, generates an HTML document, and sends the document back to the browser for display on the requesting (client) computer. Active Server Pages can also be enhanced and extended with ActiveX components.
