.NET and J2EE Web Services: A Comparison

The world of enterprise software development is generally divided into two large platforms: J2EE and Microsoft. With the proliferation of vendors and toolkits for the J2EE camp, and the release of the .NET platform from Microsoft, it is time to take a look at how the two systems compare when it comes to Web Services architecture and implementation. This paper, aimed at Technical Architects and IT Consultants, examines how both of these platforms approach Web Services, and discusses the salient points that need to be considered when deciding which is the right one for your Web Services projects.
