In a nutshell, without having to read the entire product
documentation, Janeva allows you to connect .NET applications to
IIOP-based servers; this includes CORBA servers and J2EE servers.

If you're looking for a general Java/.NET interoperability solution,
you should also check out Codemesh's <a
href="http://www.codemesh.com">JuggerNET</a> product and several other
competing products (JNBridge, etc.)

Each of these products has different architectural sweetspots and is
more or less suitable in a given scenario.  Personally (not that I am
impartial), I believe that JuggerNET is the nicest solution because it
is in-process and does not require any external infrastructure beyond
the JRE and a .NET runtime environment, but you have to be the judge.
