Quite the opposite - we've written a C++ API that works terrific.

(yes - I have become a Java convert over the last > years). Two of the requirements that excluded Java are: * high-performance * ease of deployment (no Apache or other 3rd party apps other than the DBMS) I suppose EVSMANAGER could have been written in Java, but we have no in-house expertise in that and specifically wanted to leverage existing expertise in C++ and it would have made deployment reliant on something like Apache.
