I have an ASP site calling a VB component (COM+) I am using a commerce
server catalog as my datasource.

In the asp code, (for testing) I have an initialization call for the
CatalogLib.catalogmanager and Cataloglib.ProductCatalog. To initialize
these on every page that needs something from the catalog seems to be
alot of overhead.

In a regular cs2002 installation, it looks like the Catalogmanager is
initialized in the application on_start event, then referenced from
there.

Now, my understanding of using application scope variables and passing
them to COM+ components is not a best practice. Is this OK, or is
there another way I should be handling the initialization.

Thank you.

You should try initializing the catalogmanager using the connection string.
This initialization is less costly than initializing the catalogmanager
with the sitename
