Spring talking to Thick client

[javaxmlsoapdev]

our J2EE application (using spring) needs to talk to VB .NET thick client. this would be two way communications. two of the scenarios are

1)J2EE app sending notifications to .NET thick clients (multiple clients)

2).NET client sending message (notification) to J2EE application and waiting for confirmation.

what are the technology options we can explore?

thanks,

Have you tried the .NET messaging API: http://activemq.apache.org/nms.html.
Take a look at Spring .NET and its listener containers.
