Oracle coherence-Pof(Portable object format)

Question

HI,
I am new to oracle coherence.I read that POF is language independent.I am trying to create a portable object in java and access that object in .NET .So i created a portable object by implementing Portable object interface in Java. My Portable object is as follows:
Pof.java:
package com;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.*;
import oracle.eclipselink.coherence.integrated.config.CoherenceReadWriteCustomizer;
import org.eclipse.persistence.annotations.Customizer;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofReader;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofWriter;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PortableObject;
* The persistent class for the POF database table.
@Entity
@Customizer(CoherenceReadWriteCustomizer.class)
public class Pof implements Serializable,PortableObject {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     @Id
     private long id;
     private String city;
     private String name;
     @Column(name="\"STATE\"")
     private String state;
     private String street;
     private String zip;
public Pof() {
public Pof(long id,String city,String name,String state,String street,String zip)
     this.id=id;
     this.city=city;
     this.name=name;
     this.state=state;
     this.street=street;
     this.zip=zip;
     public long getId() {
          return this.id;
     public void setId(long id) {
          this.id = id;
     public String getCity() {
          return this.city;
     public void setCity(String city) {
          this.city = city;
     public String getName() {
          return this.name;
     public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
     public String getState() {
          return this.state;
     public void setState(String state) {
          this.state = state;
     public String getStreet() {
          return this.street;
     public void setStreet(String street) {
          this.street = street;
     public String getZip() {
          return this.zip;
     public void setZip(String zip) {
          this.zip = zip;
     @Override
     public void readExternal(PofReader arg0) throws IOException
          id=arg0.readLong(0);
          city=arg0.readString(1);
          name=arg0.readString(2);
          state=arg0.readString(3);
          street=arg0.readString(4);
          zip=arg0.readString(5);
     @Override
     public void writeExternal(PofWriter arg0) throws IOException
          arg0.writeLong(0,id);
          arg0.writeString(1,city);
          arg0.writeString(2,name);
          arg0.writeString(3,state);
          arg0.writeString(4,street);
          arg0.writeString(5,zip);
     @Override
     public String toString()
          return "cityname="+city;

     </user-type>
     </user-type-list>
     <allow-interfaces>true</allow-interfaces>
<allow-subclasses>true</allow-subclasses>
</pof-config>
Now the data is inserting in to the database and cache.Now how to access this portable object in .NET?
Any suggestions would be great.

Hopefully, Coherence Developer's Guide 3.6.1 "Using POF" will help:
