Best way to stored settings for Serviced Components

[mike]

Hello.

I'm building an N-Tier intranet. The business components will be in Com+
(Enterprise Services) as well as the data access components.

I need to store application settings, such as connection strings, etc. I
plan on using an XML doc for this.

I'm trying to determine the most optimal way to store/access these config
files. I would only want to access them once, perhaps at component
activation, and keep them in memory for performance sake.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hello Mike,

What's the question?
U need to know that only DAL must connect to DB. Just keep XML on the dal
tier
