Since you are using it for last two years can you give us general idea about it ? like how configuration is done, how is response time (since its in Java), Can it function with Delphi application ? etc. etc. Please also mention any problems you faced may be initially and resolved later.

Thanks Thomas Steinmaurer for making me aware of probable pitfall. regarding using this product, I was addressing Mr. Sudheer, It was not referring you. Anyways I will keep this option open as you have suggested, I will discuss with client and arrive at final decision. After all he is going to pay for licenses So his opinion is vital in going for a particular product. We will be just evaluating technical aspect of all probable solution and put forward a technical comparison as well cost benefit analysis, ultimately he has to decide who will own his Money. If he decides to drop the project all together, all our efforts are going to go to drain. What to do, its part of life, cant help, but we can at most put all our efforts in anticipation to to be successful.

Thanks and warm regards
