This is a need for programmatic interface
for JRE version, I believe. Fortunately, Java SE 5.0 has
a better support with JVM MBeans. Can you:
- create the AMX AppserverConnectionSource.
- get the MBeanServerConnection from it.
- invoke the RuntimeMXBean method getVmVersion().
(
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/management/RuntimeMXBean.html)
Will that work? (I have not tried, but see no
reason why it won't).
If this works, it is a better way to get anything
from a "running" VM. [In other words, ask VM about VM
specifics, not app server :)]
