Actually, I take that back. You could check the manifest.mf file in
the JAR and examine the Implementation-Version.

For the minor version number (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), you could check the DTD,
but I don't know of a reliable way to check for milestones (1.2.8
versus 1.2.9).

Now _this_ is called backward compatibility :-)

how to get the version of struts during runtime

2006-04-04 Thread Günther Wieser
hi,

i would need to check the version of struts running during runtime, to be
more specific when my derived action servlet runs through its init method
(derived from ActionServlet of course).
reason is, if the minor version has changed, a warning should be written to
the logs; if a major change of the version happened, my action servlet will
refuse to start until somebody checked the code of the servlet and made sure
that it's running with the new version.

any ideas?

kr,
guenther
