Differences between SSP and Service Application

Differences between SSP and Service Application are :

What are : 

SSP : A Web application that contain all the services proived by sharepoint, and can be shared by various web applications. Some of the services are Search, Infopath,User Profiles etc.

Service Application : The Services that use to be together in SSP, now run independently as a Service Application.


Build -In :

SSP : Shared Services Provider (SSP) was only a part of Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Service Applications : The service application architecture is however, built into Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 itself.


SSP Administration Site :

SSP : They require a SSP administration site to configure the associations with web applications.

Service Application : They are running independently and can be individually associated with the one or more web applications.


Web application's Burden :


SSP : Any Web application associated with the SSP has to take the burden of all the shared services in that SSP.

Service Application : Each web application now have a "Service application group" where they can just add the Services that they need.


Replication : 

SSP : The Services where configured in SSP itself and were not replicated. All web applications will use one set of srevices.

Service Application : If the service is needed to be shared between few web applications, the service is re-configured and added into each web application's custom service connection group.

Real World Branding with SharePoint 2010 Publishing Sites http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg430141.aspx#Y13640 The most important source of information is the  SDK . I can’t stress that enough. There is so much more documentation with this release than there was with 2007. However, we are all in the habit of looking to each other for information first. Researching the SDK and walking through the Development classes, even if you aren’t a developer. is an important step in understanding the complex relationships between the objects in SharePoint and ASP.NET.
