detecting tomcat 5.5

Hi, I'm trying to update my build script to do some conditional checking to see if I'm deploying my code to Tomcat 5.5 or using an older version. Is there something (like a particular file or directory) I can check reliably that would indicate that I'm using 5.5 versus an older version?

Thanks-- unfortunately by default (at least on Unix) that file is not executable so it wouldn't even execute by default. Has anyone actually created an ant task or can give me some ant logic for doing Tomcat version detection for 5.5? Here's a snippet that worked for Tomcat 4 and Tomcat

Thanks Tim, That is exactly what I was looking for, but I still can't get it to work, and it seems that the available task is somewhat broken. Instead of just checking if the class is contained in the jar it also tries to resolve all of its dependencies, so this is what I get when using ant

Re: detecting tomcat 5.5

It looks like the available task tries to load the class in a new classloader. Of course - doing so loads all it's super classes too - so you'd need to also add catalina.jar to your classpath for the available task. -Tim Jason Novotny wrote: Thanks Tim, That is exactly what I was looking

Re: detecting tomcat 5.5

Yeah-- it was even lamer than that. I also had to add jmx.jar from bin/ to classpath since that was involved in the Valve dependency from catalina.jar Thanks, Jason Tim Funk wrote: It looks like the available task tries to load the class in a new classloader. Of course - doing so
