Why?  Objective-C is much better than either... it's a very good  
server solution (C++ is too inflexible and Java is slow/clumsy).

Again, why? While distributed objects  won't currently work, you can  
easily use serialized property lists or XML-RPC to do the job.   
Hessian should work too of course, but it's much less well known and  
well tested than the other solutions.  Of course you can write your  
own protocol optimised for what you want to do, but it would be much  
quicker to use off-the-shelf software like XML-RPC and only replace it  
with an optimised protocol if you actually need to.
