How do I find what Java version Tomcat6 is using?

问题:

Is there a OS command to find what Java version Tomcat6 is using? I need to use a Perl (including system()) command.

I using Linux. Ubuntu and CentOS

Is there something like?

     tomcat6 version

回答1:

At first you need to understand first, that Tomcat is a Java application. So, to see which java version Tomcat is using, you can just simply find the script file from which Tomcat is started, usually catalina.sh.

Inside this file, you will get something like below:

catalina.sh:#   JAVA_HOME       Must point at your Java Development Kit installation.
catalina.sh:#                   Defaults to JAVA_HOME if empty.
catalina.sh:  [ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ] && JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$JAVA_HOME"`
catalina.sh:  JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --absolute --windows "$JAVA_HOME"`
catalina.sh:    echo "Using JAVA_HOME:       $JAVA_HOME"

By default, JAVA_HOME should be empty, which mean it will use the default version of java, or you can test with: echo $JAVA_HOME

And then use "java -version" to see which version you default java is.

And vice versa by setting this property: JAVA_HOME, you can configure which Java version to use when starting Tomcat.

/usr/local/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh version

Once you have started tomcat simply run the following command at a terminal prompt:

ps -ef | grep tomcat

This will show the process details and indicate which JVM (by folder location) is running tomcat.

回答4:

If tomcat did not start up yet , you can use the command \bin\cataline version to check which JVM will the tomcat use when you start tomcat using bin\startup

In fact ,\bin\cataline version just call the main class of org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo , which is located inside the \lib\catalina.jar . The org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo gets the JVM Version and JVM Vendor by the following commands:

System.out.println("JVM Version: " +System.getProperty("java.runtime.version"));
System.out.println("JVM Vendor: " +System.getProperty("java.vm.vendor")); 

So , if the tomcat is running , you can create a JSP page that call org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo or just simply call the above System.getProperty() to get the JVM Version and Vendor . Deploy this JSP to the running tomcat instance and browse to it to see the result.

Alternatively, you should know which port is the running tomcat instance using . So , you can use the OS command to find which process is listening to this port. For example in the window , you can use the command netstat -aon to find out the process ID of a process that is listening to a particular port . Then go to the window task manager to check the full file path of this process ID belongs to. .The java version can then be determined from that file path.

Or you could use the Probe application and just look at its System Info page. Much easier than writing code, and once you start using it you'll never go back to Tomcat Manager.

回答6:

You can use the Tomcat manager app to find out which JRE and OS versions Tomcat is using. Given a user tomcat with password password with a role of manager:

Tomcat 6:

curl http://tomcat:password@localhost:8080/manager/serverinfo

Tomcat 7/8:

curl http://tomcat:password@localhost:8080/manager/text/serverinfo

回答7:

After installing tomcat, you can choose "configure tomcat" by search in "search programs and files". After clicking on "configure Tomcat", you should give admin permissions and the window opens. Then click on "java" tab. There you can see the JVM and JAVA classpath.

To find it from Windows OS,

1. Open command prompt and change the directory to tomcat/tomee /bin directory.
2. Type catalina.bat version

3. It should print jre version details along with other informative details.

For Windows, launch cmd prompt and route to the path(usually bin) where you have your tomcat startup script.
