(I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to "their" platform in regards to
J2EE. J2EE runs on most platforms, although probably not on a PDA. In any
case, J2EE runs very well on Win32, Linux, and many flavors of Unix.)
But you don't need to make an all-or-nothing choice between .NET and J2EE.
SOAP is vendor- and platform-neutral. You should choose a SOAP
implementation based on the requirements of your application -- for each
application. What language are you working with? What platform do you want
to run it on? What existing infrastructure do you need to support? What
other constraints do you need to deal with (footprint, performance,
scalability, reliability, security, etc.) These questions should guide you
to your choice.
In general, I recommend using .NET when you're working with VB, C#, Excel,
IIS/ASP, or any other Microsoft languages/technologies. If you're using
Java, your choices are much wider, so you probably want to look at
characteristics such as ease of use, performance, configuration fit,
portability, etc. For a WinCE PDA application, you might try PocketSOAP or Systinet WASP for C++
