Hello, I was given a task at my work place to develop an application. After several days, I discovered that the application have already been created in .NET but a Java version is needed due to deployment problem on the required OS. Now I thought of a scenerio where the .NET application would run on the Java platform and the Java "wrapper" would now be deployed in wherever it is required, ie deployed as a Java program but with a .NET core. How possible is that? Specific steps taken towards this should be clearly stated.

Very, although I doubt very much this is what they really want. Remember, .NET ties you to MS Windows (not a pretty option), and they're probably trying to get away from that dependency.
Also, you would need to run 2 app servers: J2EE for the wrapper, and .NET for the original framework.
Your best bet: find a way to translate from the original language (you didn't say what that was) to Java. Also, do you have to integrate the application into something larger, such as a Portal?
