Java -> VB

[billrogers]

Hi just have a question in general, does anyone know how hard it is do the following?

I have a nt service which communicates with other big servers, but as you all know vb is platform dependent and not a good all round choice when you have some unix customers, I was wondering if anyone has seen anykind of tutorial or resources on a java web client communicating with a vb program.

are talking about socket-communication ?

if you are using sockets it does not matter if you code your tool in vb or perl or whatever...

if I understood it wrong, precise your question

I am not sure, a project at work came up and someone asked if this could be done. If the vb service offered socket connections that would be nice. For then connecting to it and executing commands shouldnt be too tough. I wonder if having the java client goto a java servlet which would then in turn call the vb service if this would be better.
