Can the bright minds here point me to the java tools best suited to
interfacing a C++ library with the widest range of web servers?

Fundamental question from a Java newbie. I'm about to start a web
app with the business logic contained in a C++ DLL (could be a COM
object if necessary). It must be compiled to protect the
intellectual property within. My research to date indicates that
java is both portable and powerful enough to manage my library if I
can talk to enough servers.

I'll need to host this C++ code on the client's web server, be that
Apache, IIS, or the next new flavor of the month. I'm hoping for
many clients with many different web servers.

Do web servers have a common, standard java interface? Do all web
servers except IE share an interface?

Is Java the best interface for this application?

Book and web page references are welcome.
You want to search for JNI, "Java Native Interface".

A simple Google for say "Java JNI Tutorials" would return a lot of
references. Like:

Thank you, that is very helpful in connecting the C++ library to java.
I've marked it and will use that information. Knowing what to look for
is half the battle.

However, the question is: Is there a common interface between java and
the web servers of the world? If I create an HTTP request to a Java
class from my browser via IIS or Apache, is the java side of that call
identical in both cases? How does the server invoke java? Are the
parameters identical?

Is there another acronym I can research for the server -> java interface?
