.NET XML Web Service interop

[Kevin Burton]

I found an article on calling a .NET web service from Java but it seemed to
rely on GLUE and I was unable to find out how to download that software.
There seems to be alot written on the Sun site, and I have downloaded the SDK
and the web services SDK but I am not sure where to proceed from there.
Basically I want to show how to do these simple tasks:

1) Call a .NET web service from a Java client
2) Build Java proxies based on a WSDL.
3) Assign a Username token to a Java proxy and call the web service using
WS-Security
4) Use MTOM to send a potentially large file to a web service again using a
Java client.

As a bonus I would like to get and associate a Kerberos ticket with a web
service call but it doesn't look like Sun supports Kerberos tokens.

Any help or pointers in getting these to work would be greatly appreciated.
It is fairly straightforward to implement all of the above when I have
control over both ends (in other words .NET to .NET) but my experience with
Java limits me at this point.

Thank you.

Hey Kevin,

I recently demo'ed a Java client to .NET web service scenario, where
messages in the IODEF format
(http://xml.coverpages.org/draft-ietf-inch-iodef-10.txt) were exchanged.

C# ASP.NET Web service, Java desktop client built using Borland JBuilder.

I'm not a Java programmer by far, but consuming the service was relatively
an easy matter.

I didn't do any security but plan to in the coming week. I'm gonna refer to
msdn.microsoft.com -Web Services Developer Center -Interopability
section. There are articles there on using WSE3 to provide security in an
disparate platform scenario.

Hopefully that helps you with tasks 1, 2, and 3.

There is also a tool named WSDL2Java which I've seen in google searches but
haven't tried out. As I mentioned, Borland JBuilder worked straight from the
installation for me. The Web service WSDL was defined completely in XML Spy
and I used wsdl.exe to generate the service interface code (thanks to Nick
Locke for posting his WSDL for me to learn that technique from).

For WS-Security, you may find a lot of good resources at
http://ws.apache.org/axis2/ as well.

This was helpful. Thank you for your interest.

In building one of the samples (security) the message is "SUCCESSFUL" but I
get a stack trace. Was it really successful?

Thanks again.

Thank you for your reply.

I am sure it is an easy matter to consume a web service but I seem to be hit
with a number of problems just getting the environment right. I installed an
evaluation copy of JBuilder and I got:

C:\Borland\JBuilder2005\bin>jbuilder
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
