Call C# from Java Guide

JNBridgePro for Java developers

Call existing C# and .NET code from Java without rewriting it.

JNBridgePro generates Java proxies for your .NET classes so Java applications can use proven C# and .NET code directly. Keep the .NET code where it works, call it from Java, and avoid building a REST wrapper or JNI layer just to cross the runtime boundary.

Used by Boeing, Bank of America, IBM, Adobe, Oracle, Pfizer, and 600+ organizations.

Existing C#
public class PricingEngine {
  public Quote Price(Order order) {
    return model.Run(order);
  }
}
Java with JNBridgePro proxy
PricingEngine engine = new PricingEngine();
Quote quote = engine.Price(order);

Short answer

The practical ways to call C# from Java

You can bridge Java and .NET several ways. The right choice depends on whether you want a service boundary, a low-level native layer, or direct access to .NET objects from Java.

Good for services

REST or gRPC wrapper

Expose .NET over a network API when the .NET code is already service-shaped. This adds deployment, serialization, and API maintenance work.

Low level

JNI/native glue or custom interop

Possible when you need native control, but it usually means more glue code, more testing, and more ownership of the bridge itself.

JNBridgePro path

Java proxies for .NET classes

Generate proxies from your .NET assemblies, reference them in your Java project, and call C# from Java with normal object-oriented syntax.

How JNBridgePro works

From .NET assembly to Java call in three steps

Use this when the goal is reuse: validated C# services, business rules, numerical models, or .NET libraries that should not be rewritten.

1

Point at .NET assemblies

Select the .NET classes or assemblies your Java application needs to use.

RiskModel.dll
PricingCore.dll
Company.Engine
2

Generate Java proxies

JNBridgePro creates Java proxy classes that represent the .NET classes.

# generated
dotnetproxies.jar
JNBridgePro runtime
3

Call C# from Java

Reference the proxy JAR and use .NET objects from your Java code.

var result =
  engine.Calculate(input);
// C# code runs

Best fit

Use JNBridgePro when .NET needs to stay .NET.

This landing page is not a full tutorial. It is the fast path for teams that already know they have valuable C# or .NET code and need it working inside a Java workflow.

1

Reuse proven .NET logic

Keep tested C# algorithms, business rules, and .NET libraries intact while Java applications call them.

2

Avoid wrapper projects

Skip extra service layers when you do not need a network API just to connect two in-house runtimes.

3

Modernize incrementally

Bridge first, then decide later which .NET or Java components are actually worth rewriting.

Enterprise proof

Production .NET/Java integration, not a demo-only bridge

JNBridgePro is used by enterprise teams where cross-runtime integration has to survive real deployment constraints.

Bank of America IBM Adobe Oracle Pfizer Boeing Lockheed Martin Intel
600+

Organizations

Companies across finance, defense, pharma, software, healthcare, and manufacturing use JNBridge solutions.

2hr -> 12min

Risk workflow reduced

A major financial institution connected Java applications with C# risk engines and reduced a key analysis workflow.

Zero rewrites

Validated code reused

Teams can preserve C# and .NET code that already passed years of business, numerical, or regulatory validation.

For engineers comparing approaches, these resources explain the tradeoffs. For implementation, the fastest next step is to try the bridge against your own .NET assemblies.
