But it would be better to have just a server written in C/C++/whatever and then a Java applet to connect to the server from the browser, just as almost every chat around the www do (even an IRC server would do the job propperly secured). Disadvantages: the browser must support Java applets (not a big deal anyway, since with an "HTML" chat you'll most likely need frames). I see this solution simpler.
