Tomcat: How to find out running Tomcat version?

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.

Server version: Apache Tomcat/7.0.30Server built:   May 23 2013 02:54:10Server number:  7.0.30.0OS Name:        LinuxOS Version:     3.13.0-36-genericArchitecture:   amd64JVM Version:    1.7.0_65-b32JVM Vendor:     Oracle Corporation

1. Try parsing or executing the Tomcat_home/bin directory and look fora script named version.sh or version.bat depending on youroperating system.
2. Execute the script ./version.sh or version.bat

If there are no version.bat or version.sh thenuse 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=".

execute the script in your tomcat/bin directory:

sh tomcat/bin/version.shServer version: Apache Tomcat/7.0.42Server built:   Jul 2 2013 08:57:41Server number:  7.0.42.0OS Name:        LinuxOS Version:     2.6.32-042stab084.26Architecture:   amd64JVM Version:    1.7.0_21-b11JVM Vendor:     Oracle Corporation
