Here is a very simple example (no more than a 20 lines in Java or C#) which shows you how to use XML-RPC (http://www.xmlrpc.com) to do interprocess communication in mixed a language environment without the need of any third party aplication like a WebServer...
There is a java client and a java server a C# client and a C# server.
Each client can speak to each server.
The 2 auxilliary library xmlrpc-1.1.jar, CookComputing.XmlRpc.dll are downloaded from the Apache-XML-RPC project and .NET XML project find on XML-RPC implementation page.
