Check Tomcat 7 Version linux

Question

How do I check the version of tomcat 7 that is installed on RHEL? I looked in the bin directory and cannot find version.sh.

Solution

You can publish a jsp with the following scriptlet:

<%= application.getServerInfo() %>

Or grep catalina.out for a line like:

INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/7.0.37

Or take a look at the file org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties inside lib/catalina.jar.

Just to give you 3 options ;).
