Server side on Java with Netty and client on C++ or Objective C

I'm making client-server app and we've chosen Netty as a connection management framework. We use SSL TCP connections. As of now, the client is also being made on Java. But in future the project should support mobile devices: Android and iOS. The question is: how painful is to implement C++ or Objective C client connecting to Java server on Netty?

You could use CocoaAsyncSocket, I have used it as a client with server that implemented in Netty using a protocol I have defined that will send and receive data as JSON and it's as good as Netty.

It really depends on what protocol you are using. If you define a protocol where you are sending serialised java objects as binary like this then you will trouble writing a client in a non JVM language. If you use a text based protocol (see here) or a HTTP based web-service then it will be easy.
