RPC problem (.NET <=> Java)

[Lloyd Dupont]

(Note, explained below: NO WebServices)

for the need of my product
I would need to develop a .NET application and a Java application.
these 2 application need to communicate.
how could I do that?

Note: NO WebServices.

Why is that?
Because these 2 application of mine are plain and simple application
installable from a CD, I rather avoid web services as I don't want to go
through the hassle of installing and configuring a web server.
And although I know it's THEORITICALLY possible to use web services without
web server, I have yet to see it working (particularly with java web
services).

why do not you use TCP/IP sockets to communicate? the semantics it fixed, so
there will be no problems between .NET and Java worlds.

for .NET WSE, and for Java, AXIS - both allow webservices in a lightweight
manner.
(no fully-powered webserver).

however,

you can also do sockets communications if you are into that sort of thing.
there are oodles of examples.

thanks for that.
yep I could do socket communictaion but I like the high level communication
protocol of WebService (which behave like simple, albeit costly, method
calls

looks great hey!

anyway I was studying that, but the real need is quite delayed, however I
will keep it in mind for future use!
