RE: Retrieving WAS version

["Price, Chris" <chris_price@xxxxxxxxx>]

The ServletContext object has a get ServerInfo method that returns a text
string describing the App Server. For example, on Was 4 it returns:
"IBM WebSphere Application Server/4.0".

There are also getMajorVersion & getMinorVersion methods to retrieve the
Servlet API level.

The standard snoop servlet uses them.

Chris.

Won't that only work for WAS 3.5, and on an iSeries?

For example, with WAS 4, the folder is
/QIBM/ProdData/WebASAdv4/properties/com/ibm/websphere/product.xml

At that point, it seems like you might as well just have your own
properties file where you tell it the WAS version.

I am surprised that there is not some global property you can access with
either this information, or the <WASROOT> folder so that you can then
access the correct XML file.

If your servlet has access, it can read
/QIBM/ProdData/WebASAdv/properties/com/ibm/websphere/product.xml to
determine the WAS level.

Is anyone aware if there is a way to retrieve the WAS version in a
servlet.
I have two WAS, one is 3.5.6 and one is still 3.5.0.  I have several
applications that use Servlet 2.2 and JSP1.1 functionality but these are
not
supported in 3.5.0.  I would like to condition these based on the WAS
version.

Any suggests on how I could retrieve this would be helpful.

Thanks
