Can .NET mix with Java ?

My client wants to develop a web application using Java. I have several
questions and seeking for MVP advise.
1. Does IIS support Sun Micro Java?
2. Is it possible for .NET to mix with Java, servlet, JSP etc?
3. Can I a ASP.NET call Java servlet?
4. Can I mix MS Web Service with Java?

Many Thanks

Not directly, but there are plugins for most of the major servlet
containers to allow them to work under IIS.
2. Is it possible for .NET to mix with Java, servlet, JSP etc?

That depends on exactly what you mean. There are Java <-> .NET bridges,
but I don't know exactly how they would operate in a web application
environment.
3. Can I a ASP.NET call Java servlet?

You can make a web request to a Java servlet, certainly.
4. Can I mix MS Web Service with Java?

Yes, although I believe you're slightly more restricted than you would
be .NET -> .NET - I'm not sure of the details.


If your client wants to develop a web application using Java, where
does .NET come into it? Is there existing code you want to leverage?
 
Thanks. It seems it is quite a burden to run Java on IIS. The reason to use
IIS with Java is that Dell offers web server cheaper than Tomcat or Apache or
Sun Java servers.

Why not run Apache or Tomcat on the Dell server?
 
Peter,

You can run Tomcat on top of IIS. The other option is to do an install of
Apache / Tomcat and have them run side-by-side w/ IIS. You can have both
running, since IIS defaults to port :80 and Apache / Tomcat default to port
:8080. I've had several machines where I had both web servers installed.

Hi Peter --

Jon mentioned Java/.NET bridges, and they will indeed work in the
context of a Web application. For more information, please see our
Web site at www.jnbridge.com, or contact me if you have any questions.
