What is the ASP Model? Is it mandatory for XML to be used in the architecture of an ASP model implementation?

Hi,
Can we assume that ASP stands for Application Service provider (vs. Active Server Page)? Either way, I am rather suspicious of that "mandatory".

Yes, I am referring to Application Service Provider model. The idea is that a company will provide client access to applications on a subscription or pay for services basis. There is a lot of reference on the web to ASP Model but no description of what the ASP Model actually is. It seems reasonable that XML would be used in an ASP implementation to smooth over the difficulties of handling requests from a diverse set of clients.

Yes, you could use XML but is it mandatory? No.

Thanks. But my main questions is, what is the ASP Model? There doesnt appear to be any literature on the web or at Amazon or Barnes & Noble on this subject. However, there is plenty of literature that makes reference to "The ASP Model". If such a model exists, and you can definitely state that XML usage is not required in order to ensure implementation is consistent with "the model", there must be some model description.

Yep, got off the beam a bit there. An ASP hosts applications that clients access over the internet, usually for a rental fee. So the ASP maintains the hardware and software and the client accesses it and uses it.
You may want to do some web searches and see what info is out there.
