Talking to J2EE from VB6
Can I develop a Web service client which should talk to J2EE Web services (secured) using VB.6? If I can, which are the tools I should require? Shall I write the WSDL manually? Or will SOAP Toolkit automatically create that?

This is really a programming topic, and not an integration and Web services topic, but I'll give it a shot. You can develop a Web service client which is able to talk to a J2EE based Web service (the server) using VB 6, but only at the low level. A better idea would for you to leverage product such as those from Dream Factory that are purposed for such a thing.
