Sounds like a great solution, but the problem is with this that I know c and c++ but unfortunately, not java, and don't have the time to learn right now.

But more details on what I am trying to do. There is a database containing details on company suppliers. This needs to be accessed from anywhere across the company intranet.

Employees need to be able to search it, and browse the companies in it, and management needs to be able to update (with a very simple interface) the details of companies, and the components they supply.

Currently I am using c++ cgi scripts to generate the data, and client side javascript to hold it all together.
