I had the good fortune to work at HP with someone whom you could call the inventor of web services, Rajiv Gupta (see link) so I have been well schooled on this argument. (http://www.hpl.hp.com/news/2001/apr-jun/3gupta.html)
The primary architecture of web services (as in .Net) is an *internet* model. Almost anything that is done is an internet call, this is the point - you discover services over the internet and invoke them. The traditional J2EE architecture is that of an *intranet* model, there may be a browser interface but most calls and transactions are occuring via intranet calls. Of course you can lump Java web services into J2EE but these benchmarks never do that. The bottom line to me is that these .Net vs. J2EE comparisons are useless - it's apples and oranges. I am obviously a big fan of web services but I really don't see much "enterprise" yet in .Net. It's typical MS, great tools, good client development but weak in the middle & backend. I also think that resolution of 2-phase commit and security will be very difficult in web services - HP had a way but it was very complex and didn't scale. I think J2EE cores with web service interfaces make the most sense which is the way we are going in the JCP. Just my .02, John Harby
