how I know my app is under JBoss or OC4J?

I need to load different settings for different application servers.
How can I know what app server my application is under (programmatically)?

(Acctually there are only two variants: JBoss and OC4J)

boolean isJBoss = false; try { Class.forName("org.jboss.Version"); isJBoss = true; } catch (Exception ignore) {}

Another possible option is to check for one of the system properties that JBoss AS sets automatically:

boolean isJboss = System.getProperty("jboss.home.dir") != null;

Of course, this is not quite a foolproof as Ales's solution because anyone can set a system property form the command line.
