使用Java 1.3中的套接字连接到Web服务

I've googled around trying to find an easy answer to this question but couldn't find one. First off, I came from a .NET background and even though I had a little experience with Java, things are proving to be quite messy. I've already accomplished this connection using Eclipse Ganymede's capabilites of creating a webservice client, but it relies on rmi and unfortunatelly, it is not an option to me as I'm working with a very limited subset of JDK 1.3. I'm trying to consume a .NET webservice (asmx) in a Java client and my options are both ksoap2 or sockets. I kinda accomplished that with ksoap2, but couldn't deploy the application in the target machine (a Ricoh MFP). Any pointers or good tutorials on how to do it?I've googled around trying to find an easy answ
