If a web service is written in .net using WCF, can a java client use it without an issue or are there problems with returning specific types/collections like List ?
Would using guava (which I believe is a set of types) help?

This will depend on what binding you are using on the WCF service. You should expose an interoperable binding endpoind such as
basicHttpBindingorwsHttpBindingso that a Java client can consume it. If you use a proprietary binding such asnetTcpBindingonly .NET clients can consume your service.So I invite you to go ahead and read about the different available bindings that you could use in WCF.
