11. The Application / Bin Directory
A problem with using the COM model
for Web application components is that those
components must be registered before they can be
used from a traditional ASP application.
registration tool must be run locally on the server.
To make matters more difficult, these components
remain locked on disk once they are loaded by an
application, and the entire Web server must be
stopped before these components can be replaced
or removed.
