netTcpBinding and Java Web Services

I understand that netTcpBinding uses a proprietary protocol to communciate between WCF client and WCF server or vice versa. (If this is not true, please let me know.) Are there any plans to publish this protocol so that third parties can write a plug in for WCF client that communicates with java web services or that lets a WCF service to communicate with a java web service client using TCP transport channel If there are already libraries available, please let me know.

The sole reason for my question is to boost the performance between WCF Client to Java Web Service or vice versa. Please do not comment on the virtues of using http only as it is not related to my use case.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Jus caught this post...

    Does this mean that all the WS-* enhancements made to WCF meant to be utilised in WCF-WCF scenarios

    I m facing a similar use case wherein I would require to call/consume Java Web Services...

    I wish to integrate all the web-services (java/ASMX) and present a common service platform.

    Am I just bound by http-like binding

    Currently the best interoperabiltiy resources are on project tango and as far as I am aware the tcp-binary is only between WCF/WCF.

    Correct TCP/NamedPipe are not meant to be interoperable; they're optimized for WCF-WCF. You'll need to write your own encoding and if you look at the WSE-TCP interop sample in the WCF SDK, that should lead you down the right path.
