Interoperability using Web Services

MSDN Web Services Interoperability
The MSDN Web Services Interoperability Home Page is dedicated to providing you information for ensuring your Web services applications will work across different platforms and toolsets.
IBM WebSphere Application Developer 5.1.2
Simon Guest shares recommendations for Web Services interoperability between the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and IBM WebSphere Application Developer (WSAD) 5.1.2.
BEA WebLogic 8.1 SP3 (8.1.3)
Based on a series of unit tests between Microsoft .NET and BEA WebLogic 8.1.3, this article shows a series of scenarios and recommendations for achieving Web Services Interoperability between the two.
Microsoft .NET and IBM WebSphere Web Services Interoperability
This paper specifically focuses on interoperability between the Microsoft .NET Framework and IBM WebSphere via Web services. The goal of this kit is to show developers of each platform how to integrate with the other platform.

Interoperability using Bridging Technologies

Download Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC
Connect J2EE applications to SQL Server with the Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Driver for JDBC™, a type 4 driver with enterprise class reliability and features -- including JTA/XA transactions. This driver has been updated for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (64-bit edition) and is fully supported in J2EE 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 application environments.



Intrinsyc Ja.NET
Ja.NET is a powerful bridge between the worlds of Java/J2EE and .NET. Using Ja.NET your .NET software can access existing Java/J2EE applications as though they were actually .NET applications. It is fully bi-directional, which means that your Java/J2EE software can also access .NET components as though the .NET components were written in Java.
