Like another poster said, it depends on what part of J2EE you're talking about here. In general, J2EE components rely on containers (specific to the component) which do a lot of lifting for you.

I'm unaware of any C/C++ implementation of an EJB container for instance. However with the Axis C/C++ implementation (notice I've segue'd back into the topic here), it opens up the possibility of a C/C++ client talking to a SOAP-wrapped J2EE server tier.

I used to be a pretty heavy C++ guy back in the day. I've been doing almost exclusively Java for the last (gawd!) 7 or so years. I really don't miss C++ at all. Especially the maintenance headaches induced by implementations of large domain models. The larger the model the more it seemed to spin out of control with C++. It still has a tendency to spin out of control with Java, but not to the same degree.

I could go on here, but I think I've said enough.
