How to deploy a web service created in .net 3.5 on Apache 6.

[MukeshJ Jain]

I have a web service created using C# in .net 3.5.
I want to deploy this service on Apache.
Do Apache allows to deploy web service created in .net 3.5? If yes then how?

Thanks In Advance

By "Apache 6" I guess you mean "Tomcat 6"? If so, then no, there's no way - Tomcat can only deploy Java web apps. Microsoft's IIS would be the first choice for hosting .Net web apps and web services.

There was a way to deploy .net 2.0 application in older version of Tomcat server. That's what I found out from other blogs. So I wanted to know, if there is a way to deploy a service created using .net 3.5.

Not directly. You'd need to use a product like Mainsoft's Grasshopper; not sure if that ever got updated to support more than .Net 2.0, though.

I have installed mainsoft's Grasshopper, but it does not support .net 3.5. It only supports till .net 2.0.
Can I deploy .net web service on Apache 2 instead of tomcat 6?

[Ulf Dittmer]

Sure, with some additional software: running .net on apache

I tried that option, but that also works for .net 2.0 and not for .net 3.5

Why do you want to do this?
