I keep hearing in the press and from vendors that Java and .NET can be made to interoperate, but we're having a lot of trouble achieving that. Is it just us or is the reality a lot more difficult than the hype? If it's the latter, do you have any Java/.NET interop tips?

Anything can be made to interoperate, that's not the question. The question is how easily can it be made to interoperate? In the case of .Net and Java, they are built by different people are not coordinating interfaces, thus the lack of interoperability.

Bridging the Java to .NET interoperability divide With an increasing number of today's enterprises using a mixture of both Java and .NET technologies, interoperability between the two platforms has become an imperative.

Book excerpt: Java EE and .NET security interoperability This chapter presents some best practices for managing Java EE and .NET security interoperability.

Rymer: Web services no interop cure-all Web services are a good choice for about 80% of .NET-Java/J2EE interoperability needs, but some spots demand a deeper level of integration between the two platforms, according to expert John Rymer.

Compatibility hope for Java and .net IT directors are still struggling for an efficient, cost-effective and stable method to link together Java and .net and applications, despite a commitment from Sun Microsystems and Microsoft to work together.

Sun announces commitment to open source Java At opening keynote of JavaOne, Sun execs say the question of open sourcing Java code is no longer a matter of whether, but how.

Open source tools bring Java and .net interoperability a step closer With Sun and Microsoft's partnership almost a year and a half old, the suppliers have finally made good on their promise to make Sun's Java more interoperable with Microsoft's .net framework through the use of open source tools and code.
