Jerry, I don't think you are screwed albeit to say that I will be complex. I myself has done lot of development using ASPs and fully understand what you want to do. Here are couple of things u can do -
1. U are right that u can use web services to talk to ur ASPs. But what part of Web Service is important. U can create a COM component for user authentication and expose that COM object as a SOAP service. U can then create a Java Client to invoke this COM object via a HTTP request and pass your user information to this object. I think SOAP calls use XML as a media of interpreting information passed to a SOAP object. 2. If there is a learning curve involved in the above example, then u simply create a user COM component and talk to this object using a Java layer. There are tools such as JIntegra, JGlue which will convert ur COM objects to Java calls. Basically to say, that ur COM component will be wrapped around a Java component that contains proxy calls to this COM component. Ur calls should look something like this - client --> java code--> JIntegra COM wrapper ---> COM object ---> Webserver. However the downside of using this is the cost of investing in the new tool, and application becomes more layered and complex. I hope this helps! -Ranjan. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Jalenak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 8:17 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: .JSP / .ASP Integration Hi All, This is WAY off topic, but seeing that there are a couple of ex-ASPer's on the mailing list, I thought I'd throw this out and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. The company I work for has several, somewhat autonomous, development groups doing web development. Some (most) are using .ASP with either VB or C++. As part of my role, I have been tasked with developing a framework that can take all of our current websites and integrate them under a single 'look and feel' - including implementing a 'single sign-on' function. Obviously I chose JAVA and JSP with struts or I wouldn't be here. Anyway, I've got the authentication/authorization piece working, and can generate custom nav bars by user based on a persistent profile stored in an Oracle database. As long as the applications that I link to are Java/JSP based, I can pass around a set of JavaBeans containing the users information without any problem. How do I get this information over to a .ASP app? Can this even be done? Short of passing around XML data structure ala web services, I can't seem to find an easy (or hard) way to do this. Am I simply screwed? Thanks in advance. Everyone on the mailing list has been extemely helpful over the past few weeks, and I want to express my appreciation for all of the help.
