To be able to estimate better the interoperability issues that might raise while using web services solutions from different providers and different platforms, I think it’s important to know first what service specification is supported by each solution.

I gathered information from a variety of popular .NET and java solutions, especially focusing on WS-* supported specification.

A long time ago, I started pondering about interoperability between different technologies.

Now it is all becoming tangible, I just came back from the first session of “JAVA - .NET interoperability team”, we actually sat together and talked about the real-world problems and scenarios.

It was great to see experts from the field, working on the same problem of interoperability from opposite sides, starting to talk and get to know each other.
