In the past, where I had worked with JAVA and .NET - the JAVA code was a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the services were called by the C# code.



You'll find that C# and JAVA are very similar - different libraries, but syntax similarity is pretty high. Switching back and forth is not difficult. If you want to know more about that practice, then don't hesitate to send me an email (irishtek@yahoo.com)How to link visual studio or vb with java programming?
they two are entirely different.

VS works with MS Excel and uses VBA

JAVA uses JDK and JRE and is object oriented.

I dont think so.
If you could somehow manage to create the ';interface'; as a COM ActiveX Server object, you may use Java-COM bridge available on the net freely, like JCom (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jcom/), JACOB (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/) or several other implementations.
