HOW TO: write Java client to call WSE 2.0 web server over TCP

dotnet web services enhancements:

I've recently downloaded the WSE 2.0 RTM and am working on crufting up a
TCP-based, non IIS hosted web service. The issue, however, is I want to
call this webservice over TCP using a java client. Specifically, using the
WS-Messaging aspects of the WSE 2.0 on the web service end, can I call the
web service from a java client? And if so, what java toolkit(s) will enable
this?

I have seen very few things mentioned on the web concerning a Java client
calling a WSE 2.0 web service, and non over TCP.

I have downloaded Apache's Axis, but have not looked at this yet. I'd like
as lightweight thing as possible for the java side. web service call is
intranet and I own both the .NET and Java code, so I'm hoping to leverage
this design for some internal Java to .NET communication.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

There isn't a soap over TCP standard yet so therefore you'll run into compat
issues. WSE TCP messaging uses DIME framing so whatever toolkit you use
would need to support this. I don't know if there are such Java toolkits
that would support this framing protocol.

Another way is to create your own custom messaging transport in WSE that
would match whatever the toolkit would offer. This isn't too bad to do but
you have to create a proprietary framing protocol.
