-Original Message- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 10:50 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Finding exact Tomcat version http://tomcatfaq.sourceforge.net/miscellaneous.html That won't help, since the Installer needs to know, not the webapp. What is it about 4.1.24 that makes it required? A bug fix? The presence of certain jar file versions ? I'm just trying to think of a way that maybe with the entry for CATALINA_HOME (from the registry) plus file name checking, you might be able to 'fake it'. Having said that, the easiest (and surest) way would be to let the thing install, and have your application coded to check the version like Yoav suggests. JIRA for example (www.atlassian.com) when it starts up will check what container its running in, and if it detects tomcat then it shuts off transactions. I'm sure the run-time checking scheme is probably used quite a bit. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tim, Thanks for your help. One more question. Is there any way to get the version from the command line?

Re: Finding exact Tomcat version
1) Extract file:
jar xf ???/catalina.jar org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties
2) Use you favorite file parsing thingy (grep, perl, awk, c, ??) to parse
ServerInfo.properties
OR
Write a simple java program and have catalina.jar in your classpath:
main(...) {
String version = org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo.getServerInfo();
System.out.println(version);
}
