Call Java from C# Guide

JNBridgePro for .NET developers

Call existing Java classes from C# without rewriting them.

JNBridgePro generates .NET proxies for your Java classes so C# applications can use proven Java code directly. Keep the Java where it works, call it from .NET, 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 Java
public class PricingEngine {
  public Quote price(Order o) {
    return model.run(o);
  }
}
C# with JNBridgePro proxy
var engine = new PricingEngine();
Quote quote = engine.price(order);

Short answer

The practical ways to call Java from C#

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 Java objects from C#.

Good for services

REST or gRPC wrapper

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

Low level

JNI 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

.NET proxies for Java classes

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

How JNBridgePro works

From Java library to C# call in three steps

Use this when the goal is reuse: validated Java algorithms, business rules, numerical models, or vendor libraries that should not be rewritten.

1

Point at Java classes

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

risk-model.jar
pricing-core.jar
com.company.Engine
2

Generate .NET proxies

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

# generated
JavaProxies.dll
JNBridgePro runtime
3

Call Java from C#

Reference the proxy assembly and use Java objects from your C# code.

var result =
  engine.calculate(input);
// Java code runs

Best fit

Use JNBridgePro when Java needs to stay Java.

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

1

Reuse proven Java logic

Keep tested Java algorithms, business rules, and domain libraries intact while .NET 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 Java or .NET components are actually worth rewriting.

Enterprise proof

Production Java/.NET 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 infrastructure with C# risk engines and reduced a key analysis workflow.

Zero rewrites

Validated code reused

Teams can preserve Java code that already passed years of business, numerical, or regulatory validation.
