Version
Folks,
How do I know what version of tomcat I have on my apache server? This dude
who installed tomcat for us, I think, he installed only the beta release of
tomcat. Now, he is asking $10,000 to fix it. "Oh holly cow!" was my bosses
reaction.:)
I used the command:
openssl version -a
But it only gave me the ssl version.
Any help will be appreciated!

$10K? Geez, I'm in the wrong business...
Someone may have a better way to check the Tomcat version, but for my
version at least (3.2.1) the quickest way seems to be to look in the
docs/readme file under the Tomcat home directory. Right at the top it
says the version.
None of the startup messages in the logfiles seem to indicate the
version. That might be a Nice To Have.
Also, because of the way the distributions are packaged, all of our
Tomcat installations include the version in the path, e.g.:
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/...

Is there any way to get tomcat to return the version/milestone/build date?

Re: Version

Folks,
Thank you all for your helps. Specially Craig McClanahan is tha man! The
problem we are having is that this page, which is located at tomcat server,:
http://schedule.wellbridge.com/boss/main.xml?producer=main&type=fitness&club
=arena
after working for about 10 hours, it crushes. Now, we have to restart
tomcat in order to start it. Did I say tomcat? Oops, I was wrong. We have
to restart first tomcat then the apache server. I found from
.../docs/readme file that we have TOMCAT Version 3.2. But, I found out that
there are many more versions that has been released after version 3.2. We
think that if we upgrade our tomcat server, xml page will not crush.
Your comments?

Personally, it's more interesting than the standard, "tell me that answer to
a question that's already answered in the README or in the archives" but I'm
guessing some others might not appreciate it so much ;)
That's sad to hear man... Programmers are a dime a dozen, but good ones
aren't.

It's not such a funny thing for someone trying to live here :/ someone lend
me money for one-way ticket to anywhere-else, please :~( It's probably the
only place where you can't pay your bills leading a team of programmers
specializing in cutting-edge technologies with average IQ above 160 and

standard package. In case anyone wants to set up a .jsp website in Poland,
contact me - I'm the cheapest ;/

I can say without a doubt, that this is the funniest thing I've read on the

I agree. I think Marc gets the $10K. :-) Telnetting in is the most
reliable method...
(Actually, I think $10K was for upgrading it to a more current Tomcat...)
RE: Version
Posted by Marc Saegesser <ma...@apropos.com>.
There is a servlet called SnoopServlet that ships with Tomcat. Try
http://localhost:8080/servlet/SnoopServlet and check the version number it
reports. If the sample webapps that come with Tomcat have been removed
(which they might have been for a commercial installation) then SnoopServlet
may not be there any more. You can always use telnet to open up a
connection to the server and do a GET / command. The HTTP response will
contain the Tomcat version number.
The doc/readme and webapps/ROOT/index.html files will contain the version
number, but it is possible that the Tomcat JAR files were updated without
updating the documentation. For example, you can update from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3
by simply copying the new JAR files into tomcat/lib. In this case the
version numbers in the documentation (included the index.html in
webapps/ROOT) won't match what you're really running.
SnoopServlet or the response headers are guaranteed to return the actual
version number.
Feel free to send me $10,000 anytime you like.
