What is the best way to communicate? Soap can be slow. I don’t think that Serialized XML will work. I seem to recall that it is proprietary for .NET. Or will it work?
The XML serialization is just that – XML. I can’t immediately think of why there should be any issues with this idea, as long as both the .NET and Java setups are working against the same schema and objects. XML is an open format.
I think binary serialization is proprietary to .NET, and is not exchangeable with other platforms.
