or the quick and dirty way:
http://my.tomcat.server/random_gibberish
The 404 will contain the server version. Of course, there are way too
many reasons why this might not work, but hey...

Howdy,
Can anybody tell me of a way to find out what version of jakarta-tomcat
is installed on a system? More precisely, I need to know the
patchlevel,
I know that the installation is 4.1.xx
If it helps, I think the installation date was Dec 19 2002
Programatically, via getServletContext().getServerInfo() in any servlet.
Manually, by looking at $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out.
Having obtained this information, where can I then find a tarball of
that
version? Does jakarta.apache.org keep historical versions, and if not,
can anyone point me to a place that does? The reason for these somewhat
strange requests is that a developer who has now left my organisation
failed to leave behind any documentation for his TomCat installation,
and
I now need to compare his customised installations to a clean install
so
that I can write some installation instructions.
The jakarta site typically keeps the latest stable binaries, plus
milestone/development/nightly builds. So it's not guaranteed to keep
historical versions of all the products. Other sites, such as ones that
maintain linux RPMs, may offer such functionality. In any case, you can
ask on the list for a specific binary and likely someone has it and can
send you a copy.
Of course, all the builds are tagged in CVS so if you're comfortable in
that space you can rebuild any version of tomcat.
