The recommended approach for interoperability is

  • Start by defining the message formats in XSD.
  • generate the code in your Java web services framework
  • and generate classes for use in .NET

The XSD is what allows you to "re-use classes", but the specific steps required will vary depending on the web services stack you use on the Java side.

For some tutorials you can scan http://blogs.msdn.com/dotnetinterop - there are writeups on using AXIS2, JAXWS, and others.

You can try contract first development for WCF. See this article. It is not a popular approach. What you can also try is to create WCF service, generate its WSDL and use some tool in java to generate a java class for the WSDL
