Gettign JBoss Version

[alepape]

As I have several jboss systems to work with (2.2, 2.4 and 3.0), I'd like to be able to get which version my code is running on. I've read somewhere that the jboss version string could be found in System.properties, but it doesn't seem so. Does anyone know how to get the version string ?

During startup of the server, in the main-file:

public Main(String confName, String patchDir)
{
Package mainPkg = Package.getPackage("org.jboss");
System.out.println("JBoss release: "+mainPkg.getImplementationTitle());
System.out.println("JBoss version: "+mainPkg.getImplementationVersion());
...


Maybe this would help you!

thanks, it DOES help me !!

from at least as early as 3.0.4 you can just do
java -jar run.jar --version
...from the jboss bin directory and it spits out the version for you :-)

Hi,

My ROOT.war has next index.jsp, which doesn't work for 2.x though.

<%@page import="javax.management.*"%>


Welcome to JBoss


<%!
private MBeanServer getMBeanServer() {
java.util.List list = MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(null);
return (MBeanServer) list.iterator().next();
}

private String getJBossVersion() throws Exception {
ObjectName mbean = new ObjectName("jboss.system:type=Server");
return (String) getMBeanServer().getAttribute(mbean, "VersionName");
}
%>

Your JBoss version is <%=getJBossVersion()%>

JMX console
