Hi Sudhir,
I did not get the class IClusterInformation.
But if you want to get the Portal version you could do the folloiwng
Try to get the following System property form the J2EE server.
System.getProperty("sys.global.dir");
Here you will get the path
/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global.
Form here write Java code to do the followign
String sysGlobalDir = System.getProperty("sys.global.dir");
        if (sysGlobalDir == null)
            // aRequest.getLogger().warning(this, "getVersionRootDir(): system property sys.global.dir not set.");
            System.out.println( "getVersionRootDir(): system property sys.global.dir not set.");
        } else
            versionRootDir = new File(sysGlobalDir, "portal_versions");
        if (versionRootDir != null && versionRootDir.exists())
            File versionTxtFile = new File(versionRootDir, "version_id.txt");
            if (versionTxtFile.exists())
                portalVersion = getVersionNumber(versionTxtFile);
            } else
                 System.err.println("FILE DOES NOT EXIST");
implement the getVersionNumber() funmction to read the line form the file version_id.txt.
Hope this helps
