get jboss version within an MDB/EJB

[twwwt]

Hi,

is there any possibility to find out the jboss version within an MDB/EJB. The reason is to do the right lookup for the QueueConnectionFactory.

on JBoss < 2.4 it must be done this way:

QueueConnectionFactory queueFactory = QueueConnectionFactory) context.lookup("QueueConnectionFactory");


whereas on JBoss > 2.4.1 it looks like this:

QueueConnectionFactory queueFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory)context.lookup("XAConnectionFactory");

Hi, don't look up the XA versions of the connection factories, they are for app server usage ( or really advanced users).

As for checking whats available you could allways go through a try-catch sequence in lookup (but I think there is a system property also that says what version it is, start the server with DEBUG on and it usually spits out all the system properties at the beginning.
