First of all, any webservice written in j2ee or .net can be consumed by various different clients , atleast conceptually. You can in fact make a VB client to consume a java webservice.You dont have to convert your java application into .net service for that. SOAP wrapper is nothing but a piece of code, which would take a SOAP request and convert it into the format your existing apllication understand. You can have such wrapper around existing EJB applications..have a look at this site. http://www.theserverside.com/resources/soapandejb1.jsp you can have a look into capconnet as well: http://www.capeclear.com/products/capeconnect/architecture.shtml Rgards ----- Original Message ----- From: Janesh Vasudeva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 12:27 PM Subject: Re: why ? > Pls explain what do u mean by SOAPWrapper in case of existing component > deployed to be used by various different clients > How do u have that as WebService. i know one way that s to supply it on net > , web site? > Janesh > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Gaurav <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 12:18 PM > Subject: Re: why ? > > > > What benifit do you get by net enabling your java application!!
