how to get the version of struts during runtime
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 -- Günther Wieser creative-it Guglgasse 6/1/11/1 A-1110 Wien Austria http://www.creative-it.com 2 Dinge sind unendlich: Das Universum und die Dummheit der Menschheit, aber beim Universum bin ich mir nicht so ganz sicher.

Now _this_ is called backward compatibility :-) Leon any ideas? kr, guenther -- Günther Wieser creative-it Guglgasse 6/1/11/1 A-1110 Wien Austria http://www.creative-it.com 2 Dinge sind unendlich: Das Universum und die Dummheit der Menschheit, aber beim Universum bin ich mir nicht so ganz sicher.

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). -Ted.

Actually, I take that back. You could check the manifest.mf file in the JAR and examine the Implementation-Version. -Ted. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
