Yes. Here's an example of a .NET (ASMX) webservice with an AXIS client. http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/zips/ There is a working AXIS/JSP web client (AXIS v1.1) of the service. Also the sourcecode of that client is available, as is the sourcecode for a AXIS/SWT "fat client", and other clients. The service accepts strings as input and returns arrays of strings or a complex type as output. The AXIS clients use doc/lit. There is also an RPC/Enc interface to the same service implementation, but you should ignore that! Sorry, no authentication ! And it's not sharepoint! -D -----Original Message----- From: John Windberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 1:34 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: Java Client, .NET server... and the Oreilly book... So, has anyone actually written a web service client that can communicate with a .NET server? I'd love proof that it can be done. So far I've seen references to things the other way around, and pointers to classes that don't actually exist in the 1.1 axis jar. I suppose most people using axis are written services, and I look forward to doing that myself, but right now, it's clients, and what I need to talk to is a Microsoft SharePoint server... My only working code so far is based on the classes generated from WSDL2Java for a public exchange rate service. No security involved. Create a service, get an endpoint, get a call, add some parameters, invoke the call. What am I suppose to do with a with a "Sender"? On that note, anyone know what's up with the programming axis book from Oreilly? I pre-ordered it from amazon, but its not been listed as available yet, and I could not find it on oreilly's site.
