Does Websphere provide a Java API for retrieving the Websphere product versi
on?

In a perfect world, I?d have a static method that looks like this:

public String getWebsphereProductVersion();


The method would return values such as
"4.0.7"
"5.0.2"
"5.1.1"
"6.0.2.2"

I need a solution for Websphere 4.x, Websphere 5.x, and Websphere 6.x

Thanks in advance.

Sean,

I am pretty sure that there is an API available in WebSphere v5/v6
available at:

[url]http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.web
sphere.javadoc.doc/public_html/api/com/ibm/websphere/product/package-summary.html[
/url]

You probably want to look at WASProductInfo.getVersion()
