Runtime bridges Ja.NET and JNBridgePro vs Web Service

Hi,

We are looking for arguments for using technologies that allows .NET
Framework and Java to interoperate on a point to point basis.

The two options are XML Web Services and .NET Remoting with using third
party runtimebridges likes Ja.NET and JNBridgePro.

..NET Remoting technology provides greater performance then Web Services
in a pure .NET Framework environment. But Web Services provides more
freedom from having to dsescribe methods explicitly.

I like to hear experience in using thes two interoperability
technologies.

Best regards

John

Not always, comparing performance I'd say that WebServices beat Remoting
in number of cases
See there http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996381.aspx

There is nothing common with WebServices. WS is the mean of interoperability,
not the specific MS technology.
See the WS on the w3c http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/

I suggest u to use WebServices. It's reasonable choice for the interoperability
among components and in cross-platforms systems.
The weak of remoting is no support for declarative extention.
