Recommended Audience: IT Professional.

According to most industry literature, making a .NET WinForms application talk to a J2EE back-end is as simple as X-M-L. Just host the J2EE component as a web service, point the .NET tools at the resulting WSDL file, and write your code the same way you've always done. The reality, though, is often different. Are web services always the best approach? What are the alternatives? Are there better ways to make this interaction work?

Please join Microsoft and Ted Neward to learn the ins and outs of making J2EE and .NET applications interop, and which approach makes the most sense for different scenarios.
