What is the best solution (if any) for calling a vb.net web service with Java / JSP? If anyone could point me to any examples / references I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks!

For Java to connect to the .NET Web service, it will require that you first generate a WSDL. This can be done by prepending
?WSDLto the .asmx web service (.NET), e.g.http://localhost:8080/myApp/myService.asmx?WSDLFor Java to understand this, you will need a Web Service client: In Java 6, the JAX-WS is the latest specification.
The following client that conforms to the JAX-WS is:
These tools allows you to create a java proxy from the WSDL definition. In java 6 (in JDK_HOME/bin folder) there are tools (now standard) to convert a WSDL definition to java proxy. The wsimport (windows) allows such operation.
Once you have a java proxy, you can basically call all the exposed web service methods created to call your web service.
