I remember a time not really that long ago when people said that of tools
like ColdFusion vs. Java - in '98 I was doing roadshows for an Allaire
partner and people kept asking ColdFusion or NetDynamics. People disagreed
strongly with me when I told them that ColdFusion and Java could be
cooperative platforms - then CF 4.5 rolled out.
Guess what?
If the tools start help the developer out (imagine that) - then Java and
.NET can be cooperative platforms.
In small shops it is simpler to pick one and stick with it - unless you want
to use third-party tools that haven't moved over to your selected
platform... But in a larger enterprise it is seldom practical to expect
that everything is either Java or .NET (or even one of those for that
matter). Frequently you have situations where This department uses Java and
That department uses .NET and need to merge or share.

Why would you need java components or java connectivity if you're running
BD.NET, especially for a client that is asking for ".net compliancy"? The
whole point of BD.NET is to run in a pure .NET environment using .NET
components and functionality.
Unless there is no other option, it's usually best to stick to pure Java or
pure .NET and not mix them.
