Get tomcat version from webapp code?
I know I can get the java version from system.properties, but is there a
way of getting the tomcat version from inside my app? If so, how? I'd
like to be able to display that on an administrator's information page.
TIA!

If you crack open the tomcat ROOT application from a default install and
look at the index.jsp file, right at the top you'll some something like
this:
<head>
<title><%= application.getServerInfo() %></title>
...
Which displays this (in tomcat 5.5.23):
Apache Tomcat/5.5.23

Thanks, guys! Believe it or not, I did do a bit of searching for this,
but I guess I didn't happen upon the right search terms...

In a JSP:
<%= application.getServerInfo() %>
In a Servlet:
String serverInfo = getServletContext().getServerInfo();

Thanks for the response, but I've never dealt with that at all. Is
there any sample code that would give me the equivalent of something
like getServerProperty( "version" ), and return "5.5.15", or "Apache
Tomcat 5.5.15", or something similar?
