Tomcat is like any server based java app. It will always require a convulted classpath as well as multiple classloaders to do anything interesting.

The most failsafe way to get the version regarless of the packaging is to do the following: (no, i'm not kidding) 1) find catalina.jar. It *should* be in server/lib/catalina.jar of your tomcat installation
2) Open it with winzip like program
3) Look for ServerInfo.properties (in org/apache/catalina/util/)
4) In that file is ther server version

The version.sh script is just a wrapper the created the appropriate classpath so that the properties file can be loaded.

Hi Tim,

Only problem is, my Tomcat depot on this box (randomly picked one
of our HP-UX boxes, but we also have Tomcats running on Linux,
AIX, Solaris (and probably Win32) doesn't seem to have bundled
such a wrapper script.
