Where to put version information in war file?
I was wondering what is the best place to put version information in a war file?
I'd like to put a build version and date at built time to my
application and have a way to retrieve them from the servlets.
I'm used to add the META-INF Implementation-version tag with jar files
but with Tomcat war files it doesn't work. Are there other
"standard" places where to put version information?
Henri.

context-param is easy to access. You could put them in your web.xml
file and access them from Servlets and JSPs. I'm not sure if there are
any best pratices for it.

Hi,
I use this mecanism and it works.
I put version information in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of the war,
then thanks to getServletContext().getResource("/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"), you can get this file and parse it.
Regards.

classpath problem?
Posted by Bagus <ba...@cox.net>.
Hi,
Newbie here,
I'm not sure why I'd be getting these compilation errors. I see my tomcat
server at http://localhost/.
The http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/ seems to tell me
it's my classpath, but *I* think I have my jar files properly in my
classpath. See this following shell transcript. Thanks, Bagus
