Exactly the question I should have asked! So if I read your message correct, you used the Silverlight WCF stack but made it call a Java web service instead or a .net web service? Sounds just what I'm after. Do you have any example code you could blog? Would love to see Silverlight play well with others.
Might also be a good excuse to play with some Ruby, I've not had a reason to yet (nor the time!) thanks!
