Tomcat: How to find out running tomcat version

  1. Try parsing or executing the Tomcat_home/bin directory and look for a script named version.sh or version.bat depending on your operating system.
  2. Execute the script ./version.sh or version.bat

If there are no version.bat or version.sh then use a tool to unzipping JAR files (\tomcat\server\lib\catalina.jar) and look in the file org\apache\catalina\util\lib\ServerInfo.properties. the version defined under "server.info=".


Though this is not recent, I thought, my answer can still help others:

cd tomcat/lib 
java -cp catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo

and that's it.
