Modern JEE is quite different from that tutorial.

Besides you don't use JEE for HelloWorld, rather for distributed 
applications.

C/C++ don't provide half the tools that allow JEE to scale across 
the cluster and the respective monitoring infrastructure.

JEE is the evolution of distributed CORBA applications in the 
enterprise, with .NET enterprise applications being the evolution 
of DCOM.

Both games that C++ lost its place at.
