They hide it in a property file....

heres the code

        try {
            InputStream is = ServerInfo.class.getResourceAsStream
                ("/org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties");
            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.load(is);
            is.close();
            serverInfo = props.getProperty("server.info");
            serverBuilt = props.getProperty("server.built");
            serverNumber = props.getProperty("server.number");
        } catch (Throwable t) {}

The rest of that stuff OS etc is just Java properties

like...

sInfo += "JVM Vendor: " + System.getProperty("java.vm.vendor") + "\n";

etc....

I wonder what would happen if you ran this against Glassfish.... I bet it 
works... coz TC is probably hiding in there somewhere ;)

agnosticism thru theft... ha ha

Have fun..
