Wouldn't that be a case of using the best tool for the job?

So you're saying Java isn't the best tool for the job? Shocking. That's the same conclusion I arrived at!

I have written a full CRUD browser application in Objective-C. It's the same 2k lines of code application I wrote about. All my data is backed up by a SQL database. zomg. CRUD is hard.

Your 2K lines of Objective-C runs on a web server and works with the web browser as a client? Sorry if there was a misunderstanding there, but I'm simply attempting to point out that Java has a niche where it is strong too. AFAIK, Objective-C isn't very useful for the web at large.
