C# client, java server

[Pop Marius]

Hi everybody ! I am going to describe you my problem:   I use Tomcat 4.0.3 application server and I have java classes under a web application. From these classes I want to call methods via SOAP. My client is C# from Visual Studio .net. Lets have an example:   public class X {     private String prop1;     private String prop2;     // I have also defined getter/setter methods below     ................. }   public class Y {     public void method1(X obj) {         ...........     }         public Vector method2() {         .......         return a Vector by X type objects..     } }   Thus, I told to SOAP that I am about to use method1, method2 methods. But, unfortunetly my client is C# so I have to prepare my method1 call from C#.   Question: How can I manipulate data types between C#, java because there are 2 different languages, with different data types, even if I declare a X class in C# and I pass it to method1 ,my server will recognize it?   From client to server we should always to pass primitive types as parameters ?   For method2 which returns a Vector by X objects I found a solution: I read SOAP envelope (nodes) but it's very hard work to get datas from XML and to put it somewhere in client objects or variables. Do you have a better idea ?   So, it would be nice if one of you will point me in the right direction, probably I misunderstood  all and there are other ways to resolve the problem   Thanks in advance !
