howto connect to a .net webservice from Java
Hi
This is kind of a noob question, but i hope then its easy to answer:-)
I need to make a Java Webservice Client capable of calling a .net webservice created with WSE3.0.The webservice is using the ws-security 1.0 defined in the OASIS specification.
I have been searching these forums for any post regarding the subject and i have found alot of material about wss4j and making wsdd files and so on, but I cant find any descriptions of how to use it.
Im using Eclipse 3.2, but I dont know how to use the right jars and how to create the correct wsdd.
Can anyone point me in the right direction - I just need to get started then i think i can make the rest myself - or i hope so...
Kindly

I am sure you are aware of the idea that it is same even when you are having a JAVA client and .NET web services running. You will exchange SOAP messages in between. Please have a look at JWSDP package of sun at http://java.sun.com/webservices/index.jsp
This package is for web services in JAVA. However, JDK 1.4 and later versions have difference in implementation. Thus I think you need a bit of reading.
You can also have a look at AXIS from Apache at http://ws.apache.org/axis/
For other JAVA related problems such as adding jar get some tutorial.
take care

Hi and thanx for your reply
I have been away for a while, so I have just seen your response now.
I have been using Axis to consume webservices for more than a year now, so im not a complete beginner :-) but in reality it can be a real problem getting a java webservice to work wit a .net webservice, security wise especially.
I have been using Axis and Eclipse to make several pretty straight forward webservice clients, using wsdl2java to generate my proxy code.
Now i need to make a java webservice client using jax-ws or another product implementing the ws-security1.0 defined in Oasis to match a .net policy file - i have been reading loads on the internet and i have a pretty good idea how to make the latter steps but i dont know how to begin.
Can i use a Glassfish implementation for instance in the basic Eclipse installation? or should i use Netbeans or something else?
I dont know and every tutorial on the web i have found is based on some experience using a specific program or server setup.
Kindly
Jacob
