A .NET Web Service Interface for Messaging Between a Classic ASP Client and a JSP Client by Wilhe York

Description

In this article, Wilhe York illustrates how he successfully integrated an existing Microsoft infrastructure with non-Microsoft technologies after his company was taken over. Wilhe will show a solution that allowed him to keep an intranet that was already being used by his co-workers while integrating data from the parent company – with the only visible difference to the end user being an increase in information.

Wilhe will discuss how the intranet was transformed to support data marshalling from the parent company data to his system. In his examination, he will be using classic ASP as a client communicating with JSP pages on a Tomcat server as the data endpoint. You'll be setting up Tomcat on a Win2k box for development purposes, and you'll be using XML documents as data sources for JSP.
