Now I'm no Java fanatic (I've avoided using it at all until very recently). But I would ask: why C++ instead of Java? Since cross-platform compatability using a single code-base is one of your key requirements, I would have thought that Java would've been a fairly obvious choice ... (I don't tend to get excited about Java on a single platform; much less compelling.) On the face of it, servlets look very simple to get up and running. Java shouldn't be a big leap for competant C++ programs. The XML stuff will be fiddly, but that'll be true regardless of the development environment.
