Sorry, Chuck I simply forgot to post the most vital information with my query. Both hosts run Tomcat with the HP-UX port of Java 1.4 as can be seen from the proc table's entry for the Tomcat server process # UNIX95= ps -x -C java -o args COMMAND /opt/java1.4/bin/PA_RISC2.0/java -Xverbosegc:file=/tmp/gc.out -Xms1280m -Xmx1280m -Xmn786m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XdoCloseWithReadPending -Djava.security.policy==/opt/hpapache2/tomcat/bin/../conf/tomcat. policy -Dtomcat.home=/opt/hpapache2/tomcat/bin/.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Main start The Tomcat release to guess is a bit harder, because the HP-UX depot that bundled Apache httpd and Tomcat didn't come with the handy version.sh wrapper. See it doesn't understand "version" in this incarnation # export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4 CATALINA_HOME=/opt/hpapache2/tomcat # $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh version Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/hpapache2/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/hpapache2/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/hpapache2/tomcat/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /opt/java1.4 Usage: catalina.sh ( commands ... ) commands: debug Start Catalina in a debugger debug -security Debug Catalina with a security manager embedded Start Catalina in embedded mode jpda start Start Catalina under JPDA debugger run Start Catalina in the current window run -security Start in the current window with security manager start Start Catalina in a separate window start -security Start in a separate window with security manager stop Stop Catalina There seems to be only a version.txt for Ant in the Tomcat libs, but maybe you can guess by looking at these lines? # find $PWD -name \*.jar|xargs -n1 $JAVA_HOME/bin/jar -tf |egrep -i version\|release org/apache/xerces/impl/XMLVersionDetector.class org/apache/xerces/impl/Version.class org/apache/xmlcommons/Version.class org/apache/tools/ant/version.txt org/apache/jasper/runtime/JspFactoryImpl$PrivilegedReleasePageCon text.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper11.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper11$RClassLoader.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper11$1.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$1.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$2.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$3.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$4.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$5.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$6.class com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$InputStreamEnumeration.cl ass com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12$7.class org/apache/commons/beanutils/ConversionException.class com/hp/mx/utilities/version/ com/hp/mx/utilities/version/MxVersion.class org/apache/xalan/extensions/MethodResolver$ConversionInfo.class org/apache/xalan/processor/XSLProcessorVersion.class > > > Maybe I could even raise the verbosity level (by somehow enabling > > debug mode) of Tomcat?
