3rd party http Client API from .NET to J2EE

Hi,

I am a novice as far as .NET is concerned. We are having both .NET and J2EE implementations. We want to cut through to the JSPs in our J2EE world from the ASP.NET pages from .NET appn. Are there any 3rd party or .NET-related 'httpclient' API that would let us connect to the JSPs from the ASP.NET side ?

All your responses greatly appreciated.

You can use the HttpWebRequest Class to create custom web requests to anything - html files, asp pages, asp.net applications, even jsp files :)

Jamie,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for the late response, I was digging up on .NET technologies and getting more familiar.

I have some more related questions, I would really appreciate your help.

As I said, we want to 'cut through' from an ASP.NET appn. page to a J2EE appn. and display the JSP page. Once the user enters some input and submits it, can we respond (from the J2EE appn.) and send another JSP page to him ?

Is this interaction seamless (i.e., can be extended to automatically display multiple JSP screens within the ASP.NET appn.) OR would a call through the 'HttpWebRequest' object enable going to a JSP page only once ?

Also how would this work if the .NET appn. is in VB.NET ? Should the .NET side have to develop an ASP.NET webform-layer (on top of VB.NET appn.) and then use the 'HttpWebRequest' class API, in order to go to the JSP pages of the J2EE appn. ?

Is there a good book which deals with the 'HttpWebRequest' objects and ASP.NET. ?

Thanks,
