Is there a way to programmatically determine what version of tomcat is installed on my system? The situation is this: I'm writing an upgrade script for my application, and if the version of tomcat is 4.x, then I need to shutdown, install tomcat 5, configure tomcat 5 and then startup tomcat 5. If the version on the system is tomcat 5, then don't do anything.
Normally, most applications have a "--version" command line parameter (e.g.: java -version gives me text that matches the regex "1.4.2_02"). Is there a way that I can execute a command to tell me the tomcat version? If not through the tomcat program, is there a version number stored in a text / configuration file that I can grep? Failing that, how can I tell (programmatically) what version of tomcat I have?
