Product Description
Bridge the gap between the Microsoft .NET Framework and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) by implementing the best interoperability solutions available today—and by learning to build compatible solutions and workarounds of your own…. More >>
It’s an essential resource for any architect or developer who is involved in integrating the two platforms, J2EE and .Net, with enough breadth and depth in both being a technical reference as well as offering practical examples and solutions. The samples are working applications that can quickly jumpstart design and development, providing enough understanding and is presented in a clear concise manner.
It has helped us resolve some rather complex interoperable challenges that we’ve had with some of our customer applications, and saved us an immense amount of time and resource in research.
If you are looking for a quick start to resolving a complex problem, this would be a great place to begin.
Kudos!

Power tools for the Interop developer/designer. If you are a developer/designer or consultant working with a customer that has heterogeneous investments, specifically .NET and J2EE then you need a copy of this book handy. Simon has done a very thorough job of detailing the various techniques and engineering solutions.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt is what J2 enthusiasts cling to when discussing .NET technologies. Simon cuts through these biases with concise, helpful guidance of how to interoperate. IBM and Microsoft both have committed to interoperability and Mr. Guest’s book shows how that has real-world applicability. This book shows how an IT organization does not have to commit to J2 or .NET, but BOTH can interoperate and solve the problem. This book is no-nonsense and gives both audiences of developers equal perspective and guidance. Both platforms have their own value. This book attempts to bring synergy and achieves success in doing so. Bravo!

This book was very helpful to solve my interoperability problems w/o building crazy wrapper code. I had two huge issues, I was struggling to build an XML web services bridge channel between my j2ee application and microsoft C# application. I had several issues with encodings and XML content issues. I had integration problems with couple of j2ee applications with VB app. This book helped me to solve them.
This book is perfect balance for understanding all microsoft < -> j2ee integration specific concepts and code guidance. Simon guest done terrific job explaining the concepts with good level of details to support both from j2ee and .net perspectives. The author has so much grip and clarity on the subject, makes it so simple for understanding and illustrations and very clear to read. A must have for java and .net developers.

Today’s Enterprises are heterogenous environments that make writing reliable efficient applications a nightmare at the best of times. This book gives the modern developer the tools and strategies necessary to successfully build and deploy heterogenous applications in today’s Enterprises.
It is nice to see that readers are offered many different strategies for interop including both webservices and binary.
In addition, the companion CD actually contains TONS of usefull stuff including all the code, and usefull 3rd party applications.
Truly a must have.
