Interropability testing between j2ee and .NET

[babloosony <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I have exposed ejb as document/wrapped web service on java platform
that uses AXIS 1.2 RC2. I can test also successfully consume the ejb
web service. However I want to write a client in .NET and consume my
j2ee/java ejb document/wrapped web service.

Now my question is can I install light weight .NET soap toolkit on my
windows 2000 computer and consume wsdl exposed by my j2ee based
websphere 5.0 application server deployed ejb web service. I dont want
to install the heavy weight .NET MS-Visual Studio that has .NET soap
toolkit in it to do this interropability testing. Can anyone please
redirect me to relevant docs, links and information.


Thanks & Regards,
Kumar.

Hello. Please decide in future whether you have an axis-dev or an 
axis-user q. and pick the right group. IT ensures that both groups dont 
actually ignore the question, assuming the others will pick it up.

yes, it is important to think about interop early. you are doing the 
right thing here

You need the .net SDK, no need for VS itself, though a debugger is 
useful :)

Ant has the tasks needed to generate C# from WSDL and compile the 
source. If you then run <nant>, you can integrate interop testing with a 
continuous integration process:
