Can a compact framework application of full framework application hit a java webservice running on apache

Hi

I want to create a .net compact framework and full framework
application that uses web services. However the web services are
created with java running on an apache server. Can this be done? Can
my .net C# applications use web services hosted on an apache server
written in java? What issues might I run into?

Thanks

As long as they are using standard SOAP call this can be done. If they
aren't using SOAP you could still do a POST or GET request to the web server
and parse the results.

Thanks eric... I have another question that may seem a bit odd.
As an alternative to the previous question can I have both an apache
and iis server on the same server box (same virtual directory) and use
the iis server to host the webservices that touch the java objects?

Weird questions I know....

My guess is yes. You can set up IIS to access directories being used for the
Apache server as virtual directories. Not sure why you would want to do
that. If the Java code is accessing a database, it would seem more efficient
to access the database directly.
