I am relatively new to .NET.

I am assigned to accomplish the following:

-Write a client using .NET C#
-Write a server application using Apache2
-server and client talk to each other using SOAP

My question is:
a) Is that feasible? If not, why? and whats the option? ( I think my
company budget is the main constraint here)
b) I read on WSDL, proxy creation for client. Am I on the right way?
c) The apache2 server is an existing server for the company. It only
runs on PHP (not ASP). Is it possible to talk to my .NET client?

Please advise.

Yes it is feasiable.

Use Tomcat 5 with Apache AXIS(http://ws.apache.org/axis/) ...very good tool.

AXIS can publish web services a couple of ways,

1. The simple way i.e. rename a class file to name.ws and drop this into an
axis folder. Point the .Net client at it and you are away.
2. Better more detailed implementation.

Both are in the AXIs documentation.

Incidentally WSE 1.0 is supported as an extension to AXIS. Look for WSSE on
the web.

Sorry it should say "rename source file", not "class file"
