How Do I Find Tomcat Version That's Already Installed?

[Heath Scheiman]

Greetings! I'm trying to determine which version of Tomcat is
installed on a box I'm not familiar with. The OS is AIX 5.1.0.0. Is
there a simple command, or do I need to check a log or config file?

Thanks!

You should be able to find this in the log called 'catalina.out'.
Alternatively, you can go right to the source; open
$TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib/catalina.jar in a tool capable of handling zip
or jar files, and read the file called
org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties.

That last bit is not guaranteed to work across multiple versions,
though.
