Hello, do you have this effect ? Do you know why ?

I made a WebService with a Microsoft ATL COM object, the .WSDL file made by WSDL Generator (from Microsoft SOAP Toolkit, 2 or 3 does same).
It is a local COM server in a .exe (out of process server).

Normally there is only one process executing in memory. For example used as a COM objet from VB programs.

It seems that IIS (the SOAP dll ISAPI extension) does not load the COM server executable as Windows does normally:
- IIS loads&run the COM server in any case, even if it is already executing for a VB program,
- a VB program loads&run the COM server in any case, even if it is already executing for IIS.

And of course if i made an out of process server, it is because i want it to be the only one running...  grrrr :)
Any idea ??

Thanx for your time
Jean-Michel
