AIM:
To get a desktop client server application to talk to a web based application using web services
Explanation
There is desktop client server based application which provides web services portlets.
There is another web based application that needs to interact with this application.
The desktop client server application is VB.net based with MSSQL Database.
The web based application has been developed using php/mysql.
The desktop and the web applications need to talk to each other.
The web application is expected to transact data with the desktop application.
I believe a web services based code needs to be hosted on a server that opens up a portlet for the web calls.
The web application then can send and receive data using the web service calls available with the client server application.
