Is there an API/method that will allow a java program with access to the
installation directory [NOT THE DOMAIN DIRECTORY] determine the version
of the server installed in that directory?
Here is my use case...
When the user registers a domain in the NetBeans plugin, they need to
identify which executables are associated with it... like asadmin. I
have run into situations where users have said that they want to use the
8.2 libraries, etc. to try to communicate with a 9.0 domain... This
doesn't work, but fails in some very confusing ways.
I want to stop users from being able to do this.
So, I need to find a way to compare the version of the
'installation/executable bits' with the version of the 'domain bits'...
I had been using the DOCTYPE that was in the default-domain.xml.template
(until rev 1.47) to do the comparision...
See
