You are an enterprise application developer. You are creating an application to manage the inventories of 1,000 stores in geographically dispersed locations. The stores are connected to the main office through a secure network infrastructure. Inventory data from the store servers must be consolidated at the main office everyday. The main office initiates the consolidation by calling a component at the store. Transactional integrity must be maintained during consolidation. Security policy requires the application to propagate Microsoft Windows security context throughout the system to ensure authorization and authentication. Security policy does not permit Web servers at the stores. You need to recommend a reusable component technology that permits data from the store servers to be consolidated at the main office. You also need to ensure that the security policy requirements are met.
