How to use .Net client for a Apache SOAP service?

[David Follow]

Hi everybody,
I have a SOAP service (Java) based on Apache SOAP deployed on the Tomcat WebServer. If and how can I use this service using a Microsft .Net client? Are there any examples out there? Using is with a Java client is obviously no big problem, but how about .Net?
TIA, Detlef

I don't know of any examples of interoperability on the net, but if you have WSDL for your web service it shouldn't be too difficult -- MS allows generation of stubs for .NET clients from WSDL.

Thank you. I read thru the IBM article and it helped. I haven't got the chance to actually try it out but will do soon.
Thanks again, Detlef
