I'm no expert but there appear to be a few options you may have. Firstly, since jboss is a java app you wont be able to run C++ code 'on jboss' (assuming you were asking if you can run C++ code upon the jboss platform, apologies otherwise).
In general, since you're integrating legacy services you may have to bear in mind a few points such as firewall traversal, transaction context propogation (do you join client initiated transactions), reliability etc. As previously mentioned CORBA is an option (though firewall traversal used to be a problem?): http://www.jboss.com/developers/projects/jboss/IIOP Then you have the decreasingly granular options: Message Queuing: you could integrate into jboss (eg) MQSeries or Active MQ which have non-jms/jms client API's in C++ or .Net languages for example - not sure about jbossMQ though maybe you could use a non-java JMS client. There's also the JCA (see: http://www.jboss.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossJCA) which would allow JBoss to integrate with legacy services - there's a list of criteria on the web site that will help you to choose between JCA and JMS. Then of course you could front your JBoss application with a webservice. You may need to ponder performance and transaction handling with this one of course. Then you could go for a third-party Enterprise Service Bus - though I'd think long and hard and check your pockets first. Unfortunately there are often more questions than answers when it comes to integrating applications. Your architectural requirements will be key (I would check-out some of the architectural patterns in this area) and you have to bear-in mind ownership of course. In short, you can integrate jboss with a C++ client (the JMS option may be easiest to prototype first) but a lot rests upon your system structure/size etc. Cheers.
