Java client program calling a .NET 3.5 web service

i have written a simple java stand-alone program that calls a .net 1.0 web service. no problem. if i take that same program structure and call a .net 3.5 web service, the java program fails. for whatever reason, the parameters passed to the 3.5 service are NEVE开发者_Go百科R received.

so can someone point the way to an example or tutorial where i can call a .net 3.5 web service from a java stand-alone application (without using glassfish, tomcat, etc). i didn't have to install a server (tomcat) when i called the 1.0 service and so i am assumming that you can do the same when calling a 3.5 service.

i've been spending numerous days researching this topic and i'm getting desperate. thank you.

p.s. i don't want code fragments.....i need a full blown tutorial from top to bottom.

There shouldn't be anything special you need to do. Just use any tutorial for a Java client calling any document/literal web service.

You should keep in mind that .NET 1.0 was a long time ago, and had bugs that have been fixed. It's possible that you were depending on those bugs, but didn't know you were.

You'll probably want to have a look at Metro.

A more specific example is probably the from-wsdl example found here.
