Is it possible to have a java program on a server and then connect to it from within a C++ program? I wanna have a serverprogram that can write and read to/from a SQL database, that seems possible, but I also wanna connect to that serverprogram from a C++ client that uses winsock2.

Yes. You can connect any two sockets that use the same protocols one to the other regardless of their origin (language, OS, architecture). The InterNet wouldn''t work otherwise.

Heh yea, then I got it confirmed, I do ask stupid questions sometimes
It''s not a totally stupid question. Also there any issue with big endian/little endian ordering from Java based apps to win32 based apps and visa versa. That would probably fall under protocol though.
You have to convert the endianness (whoa, a new word) on your own. That''s why the Win32 API has hton and ntoh to convert integers from host to network and from network to host.

Java seems to take care of that
