I have recently complete interoperable testing between .NET Web Services and a Java client using 2 different frameworks ( Axis / XFire ).  I am blogging my results in order to help myself remember the next time I have to do this as well as save others time in tracking down similar issues.

Both Axis and XFire are experiencing different flavors of the same issue, Inheritance.  Both frameworks seem to be addressing the base type instead of the type of the object instantiated.

The next 7 blogs will contain the source code and the tests to perform in order to experience the issues first hand.

• Client code using Axis  ( Part 1 and 2 )
