Raghavan, web services in Axis2 are based on xml data transfer. Value objects are nothing but beans in the Java world, and I'm sure .NET has an equivalent class structure to accommodate this. The idea is to produce the wsdl file and give that to .NET so that it can produce the required classes for the client. (It used to use a program called wsdl.exe, but not sure what it does these days). So, that reduces the interoperability issue to making sure your wsdl file is perfect. Then you will have few issues between Java and .NET. -jeff _____

Now what is the equivalent data type in .NET compact framework for OMElement, so that I can parse the xml object? Also, is it possible for me to return "value objects" from my web service rather than a XML object? If so how is it done? One thing to note is my client will be a .NET client. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Raghavan.V.
