How to invoke a webservice in .net from servlet application

[Abhishek Reddy]

Can anyone tell me how to invoke a webservice in .Net from Servlet?

The beauty of WS is that you don't have to care which language it's implemented in. If you have a WSDL description, you can use any Java tool you like to create client code for it, e.g. the wsdl2java tool that comes with Axis.

Can give me links for such resources ..so that it will be easy for me to use?

Abhishek,
You dont have to worry about how(which language) the web services server implemented. call methods in your servelet-client as if the server is implemented in Java..

If you use Axis Engine then here is how you make calls to a service..

try
       {
   String endpoint =
             "http://someaddress/svq/services/TheServicename?wsdl";
  
        Service  service = new Service();
Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();
        call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
        call.setOperationName(new QName("http://soapinterop.org/", "getReferenceValues"));
 
call.addParameter("inputXML",
                             org.apache.axis.Constants.XSD_STRING,
                             javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode.IN);
        call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.Constants.XSD_STRING);
 
String name = "JJ8105";
 
        String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] {name } );
  
        System.out.println("Sent svqXML, got '" + ret + "'");
   }
   catch (Exception e)
  {
   System.out.println("Exception ::::"+e);
  }

"getReferenceValues" is the service that I am calling with the argument "name"..
