Hello,
I would like to know how I can contact a web service developed and deployed in .NET, like the yahoo ping service, from a java client.
Any deployed webservice will have a link to WSDL file, this wsdl describes what the service is, in what way it can be accessed, input and output requirements and Where.
Now you can feed this wsdl file to Apache Axis/ Apache
SOAP or IBM ETTK which will inturn produces you the necessary client class files to initiate,call and read response.
You can find more info from apache axis/apache soap websites.
