In my recent experimenting with Axis Web Services I found the following useful resources on Web Service interoperability between .NET and Java.

Update: Simon Guest has a serise of webcasts from the recent “interoperability month” conducted by MSDN, including two on .NET and Apache Axis 1.2. This one uses a .NET client and Axis service (at a high level this is similar to my recent discussion of Axis JWS, but Simon apparently discusses the more “fully featured” WSDD approach). I think I’ll wait for broadband to be hooked up later this week before looking at them.
