Hi all:

Does anyone out there have any experience with connecting to a .NET web
service from a Java Application and/or servlet? Can anyone point me at a
tutorial or a good example?

Thanks!

John.

Use a toolkit that can generate a stub from the WSDL file.

Like Axis WSDL2Java or JDK 1.6 wsimport.

Run and just call the stub code.

Very simple and easy.

Hi Arne:

Thanks for the reply. I used the tool and it generated a bunch of Java code
files and classes. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to use the
generated files? It has been a while since I have worked with Java and I am
not sure. I don't see how the generated Java maps to the .NET web service
call that I usually work with.

John.

I usually find it rather self explaining when browsing the
generated code.

Example:

..NET web service

public class SimpleTest : WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public int AddOne(int v)

called from Java with Axis generated stub:

SimpleTestLocator stl = new SimpleTestLocator();
SimpleTestSoap sts = stl.getSimpleTestSoap();
System.out.println(sts.addOne(2));

Thanks for the help folks.
