I am facing an issue while consuming a java web service from .NET. I am able to provide the input to the web serive but not able to get back the result. The result is a custom object which is created in Java with one long, one short and one string variable. But the output I am getting from .NET is that long and short are always defaulted to 0 and string to null string. Any pointers should be appreciated.
In addition when I make the return as just plain int, it is working fine.

Scott Hanselman just wrote a blog entry dealing with consuming somewhat sloppy wsdl files from an un-named (but likely java based) web service.
His progress though resolving it is likely to apply to your issue so I suggest reading through it and seeing which bits are relevant to your issue.
It is very likely that you will need to modify the wsdl to make the auto generation of your .Net stubs work.
I'd love to see some WSDL and call samples, but I'll forge ahead making some assumptions about the problem you are having. :) I've had issues in the past with Java and .Net SOAP interoperability. I was using Axis 1.4, by the way.
My particular problem had to do with empty namespaces; e.g., <someElement xmlns="">...</someElement> which means someElement is not part of the namespace of its parent. (More info here.) .Net SOAP clients had -- in the past at least -- trouble with such elements. After some digging I found a workaround on the axis-user mailing list. This worked for us. Perhaps it will help you.
Here are a few other things to try.
