JAVA.

Hmm... what are the main features? (for example a search? or have they asked for any special features (Streaming Audio etc) How big is the site? (content & copy) Are you doing the custom scripting in Java, Flash, DHTML (whatever)? Will it be data driven? Are there plans to put up a framework, then expand it? Are you looking towards making it cross-browser/platform? Is there any branding involved? Have you thought about testing/usability of an Alpha and Beta version?
I don't know how muck... charge something that you think is suitable...

Just don't underprice yourself, that is the worst thing you will find yourself doing.
It's a lot easier to downsize the price, than to climb the ladder of worth.

the trick is to ask just $1 less then the limit they have in their mind.
now, even bigger trick is to actually know what that limit is.

Casually ask them their budget. Sometimes they'll just let you know.

be safe and ask them what their budget is and go from there.
if i had to make a ballpark i would say charge anywhere from 3000 -1 trillion dollars
