Question

There are two ways we can use to consume Java Web Services ..using Dotnet Web Services or WCF. Can someone point out the benefits of doing one way or the other ?

Answer 1

If it is a soap web service you just need to add a service reference to the url in .NET

URL example:

 http://host:9232/Calculator/CalculatorServiceService?wsdl

:

Since Java EE Web Services (JAX-WS) are standard SOAP services, they are easily interoperable from a .Net client application with only several clicks. Visual Studio generated a .Net client proxy that makes it very easy to connect and call the service.

Webservice Call Example:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    CalculatorServiceClient proxy = new CalculatorServiceClient();
    int result = proxy.Add(2, 3);
    Console.WriteLine("Calculator Service returned: " + result.ToString());
}
