passing custom objects to Java webservice from VB.Net client

Hello there

Im having a bit of a problem :-)

I have a Java Webservice ( wsdl ) and i need to Access the webservice though a VB.Net client.

I can without any problems pass a string to the webservice, but I cant pass a custom object like:

VB Code:

public class 
   public name as string 
   public age as integer 
End Class

The objects are defined by the java webservice.

Any info on the subject will be greatly appreciated.
