I want to develop a CGI application that has to run under Windows and Linux (IIS and Apache)

What is the best technology to do that?
I would prefer Java, but I am not sure if there is a problem with Java in an IIS.

Any experiences?

    For plain CGI, Java’s startup time is going to be a killer when the process forks. It’ll be frustrating even for the low loads you’re expecting.

    I would, honestly, recommend you use Python for this instead as it will have the right balance of startup / execution speed and “batteries included” features for CGI development.

    Here’s a link if you’re intersted: http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html
