           Summary: Building tomcat from source - serverinfo.properties not
                    showing minor version
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hi,

Our application is deployed on Gentoo Linux which installs tomcat from source
via the portage tool. We were concerned portage wasn't building tomcat correctly
when we saw that the minor version of tomcat (example 5.5.23) wasn't being
displayed when using the ServerInfo() method, or running the version.sh script.

After building tomcat from source on Windows, we see the same issue:

tomcat built from source is not showing the full version number in the
ServerInfo.properties file located in catalina.jar (/org/apache/catalina/util/)

example #1

built from: jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-src.zip
ServerInfo.properties shows: 

server.info=Apache Tomcat/5.5
server.number=5.5.0.0
server.built=May 17 2007 05:04:58

using pre-compiled binary: jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9.zip
ServerInfo.properties shows:

server.info=Apache Tomcat/5.5.9
server.number=5.5.9.0
server.built=Mar 26 2005 02:21:04


example #2

built from: apache-tomcat-5.5.20-src.zip
ServerInfo.properties shows:
server.info=Apache Tomcat/5.5
server.number=5.5.20.0
server.built=May 17 2007 04:01:36

using pre-compiled binary: apache-tomcat-5.5.20.zip
ServerInfo.properties shows:

server.info=Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
server.number=5.5.20.0
server.built=Sep 12 2006 10:09:20


example #3

built from: apache-tomcat-5.5.23-src.zip
ServerInfo.properties shows: 
server.info=Apache Tomcat/5.5
server.number=5.5.20.0
server.built=May 17 2007 03:55:46

using pre-compiled binary: apache-tomcat-5.5.23.zip
ServerInfo.properties shows:

server.info=Apache Tomcat/5.5.23
server.number=5.5.23.0
server.built=Mar 5 2007 08:25:04


Are there plans to make the information displayed in ServerInfo.properties
consistent between the source and binary distributions (without having to
manually edit this file)?

Are there good reasons for obscuring the version displayed?


Thanks.

Kei
