Can a .NET web application consume Java web service ?

Yes. All you need is the wsdl file of java web service so that you can create the proxy and then use it to call its web methods

Yes without any problem. Its same as we can make request from Asp.Net Web Application to a WebApplication /Server which based on java. We only have to make a request which is understandable for the target webservice. We can parse the response and tranform i example into information by using standard XML manipulation classes in .Net. Bottom Line

Web services are application components
Web services communicate using open protocols
Web services are self-contained and self-describing
Web services can be discovered using UDDI
Web services can be used by other applications
XML is the basis for Web services

Follow this link as gives a brief overview and an example in .NET

Happy Programming!!

Yes.Actually Web services are independent to language. it depends on WSDL and SOAP. so any one can develope the Webservices anddisclose the wsdl and users can cosume the web services.WSDL and SOAP both are xml based.. And all languages having xml parsing capability and access to http protocol will be able to work with Webservices.
