Tomcat: How to find out running tomcat version

Question

I\'m trying to get Appfuse + tomcat + jRebel working.

Appfuse by default uses Cargo to download tomcat (ver. 7.0.33) and deploy the application to it. I wish to use

Answer 1

Windows task manager > Processes > find tomcat > right click > open file location > if you run Tomcat7w.exe it is visible at description.

Tomcat should running to be visible at Processes if not at Windows Vista/7 go to task manager > tab (services) find tomcat start it and then processes.

Answer 2

If Tomcat is installed as a service, try:

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat version

Swap out "tomcat" with the actual name of the service.

Answer 3

In Linux to check the tomcat version

cd /opt/tomcat/bin

./catalina.sh version

Answer 4

1. Try parsing or executing the Tomcat_home/bin directory and look for a script named version.sh or version.bat depending on your operating system.
2. Execute the script ./version.sh or version.bat

If there are no version.bat or version.sh then use a tool to unzipping JAR files (\tomcat\server\lib\catalina.jar) and look in the file org\apache\catalina\util\lib\ServerInfo.properties. the version defined under "server.info=".

Answer 5

Another option is view release notes from tomcat,applicable to linux/window

{Tomcat_home}/webapps/ROOT/RELEASE-NOTES.txt

Answer 6

I know it is maybe too late for this, but this could be usefull: If you try to know Apache Tomcat Server version from Java code, you can use:

from a HttpServlet:

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    getServletContext().getServerInfo()
}

from a ServletContextListener:

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)  { 
    event.getServletContext().getServerInfo();      
}
