Java and VB.net

[cathymala louis]

Hi

Is it possible to communicate the program written in Java to the program written in VB .net using web services. If not is it possible to do so using any other technologies.

Thanks in advance.
Nirmala.

That is possible if one of the two is configured as a server that accepts web service requests. If you want general two-way communication, both would need to be able to act as server. If you want to head down that road, be sure to read these interoperability hints.

In principle yes, however the road isn't always a smooth one (just search this forum for NET).
