Re: detecting tomcat 5.5

[Jason Novotny]

Thanks Tim,
   That is exactly what I was looking for, but I still can't get it to 
work, and it seems that the <available> task is somewhat broken. Instead 
of just checking if the class is contained in the jar it also tries to 
resolve all of its dependencies, so this is what I get when using ant -d:

>>>>>
Finding class org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve
Loaded from 
/Users/novotny/Jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/server/lib/catalina-optional.jar 
org/apache/catalina/valves/FastCommonAccessLogValve.class
Finding class org.apache.catalina.valves.ValveBase
[available] Could not load dependent class 
"org/apache/catalina/valves/ValveBase" for class 
"org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve"
[available] Unable to load class 
org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve
>>>>>>

   I can't see any flags that would tell it to not check for dependencies..

   Thanks-- unfortunately by default (at least on Unix) that file is 
not executable so it wouldn't even execute by default.

   Has anyone actually created an ant task or can give me some ant 
logic for doing Tomcat version detection for 5.5? Here's a snippet 
that worked for Tomcat 4 and Tomcat 5.0.X that was fairly easy:

<if>
           <available file="${appserver.home}/conf/Catalina" 
type="dir" prope
rty="tomcat5"/>
           <then>
               <echo message="Detected Tomcat 5"/>
           </then>
           <else>
               <echo message="Detected Tomcat 4"/>
           </else>
       </if>

   Thanks, Jason

Hi,
   I'm trying to update my build script to do some conditional 
checking
to see if I'm deploying my code to Tomcat 5.5 or using an older 
version.
Is there something (like a particular file or directory) I can check
reliably that would indicate that I'm using 5.5 versus an older 
version?
  

Look at %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\version.bat or version.sh depending on
whether you are on Windows or *nix, if you're on Windows and don't
have version.bat then you need to download the zipped distribution and
now thw windows installer.
