Need to learn Web Services

[E@GD]

I need to build a bridge between two applications and have been told
to do it using web Services.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a good tutorial with example code
on the subject? The other technologies involved are Java, XML and
SOAP which I already know. So I would like not to have to learn
something like C# or anything else in the process. I have on tight
schedule.

PS: I prefer free online tutorials.

Thanks,

E@GD

Look at http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/default.aspx

If you are using ASMX services, it is extremely easy to set up the service.
With .NET 2.0, you have to move to Remoting for non "web" services. Another
option is moving to .NET 3.0 and using WCF, which is about as easy as
ASP.NET web services with the flexibility of Remoting. If you want WCF, go
to http://wcf.netfx3.com/.
