Moroever: Could you please also share the MIN and recomended HW and there prerequisites link, so that it would be great while environmnet preparation.
2. Using JBoss EAP 6.4 GA version RapidMiner Server is bundled with JBoss EAP Alpha versions due to licensing restrictions. If you have the necessary license to run the JBoss EAP 6.4 GA version then you can also use it to run RapidMiner Server.

(As asked in title:) How do I tell what version of JBoss I am running?

JBoss Enterprise Web Platform (or JBoss EWP) This software is a lighter weight version of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The key components are essentially the same as the full JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, but uses a slimmed down profile of the JBoss Application Server.

JBoss has an MBean called Server. That reports the build and version of JBoss itself. Once you know the version, you can see what components are involved. It is not that well cataloged, but you can see it in the release notes.

In your JBoss lib Directory:

• Open the file jboss-system.jar by example
• Extract the file MANIFEST.MF from the META-INF directory
• Open MANIFEST.MF with a text editor and then look at the property Specification-Version and Implementation-Version

This URL (JMX-Console) should provide you the informations

http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor?action=inspectMBean&name=jboss.system%3Atype%3DServer

The tomcat version is implied by the jboss server version.

EDIT:

A complete list of versions you find here VersionOfTomcatInJBossAS

Where you reach your JBoss depends on the interface it is bound, using -b hostnameIf you start using JBoss with -b 0.0.0.0 option. That way, you can access the system using localhost, machineName and even the IP address. By default it's localhost, if you use th -b option you need to replace localhost by yourhostname.

Just found another way to know the jboss version, so pointing out here:

In Linux/Windows use --version parameter along with Jboss executable to know the Jboss Version

eg:

Here JBoss 4.0.4.GA is the Jboss version

in windows this could be

Also, in new versions of jboss the executable is standalone.sh / standalone.bat

Realize this is an old thread but here are a couple other ways (works with EAP 6.4):

1. Use JBoss CLI (/opt/jboss/bin)

# jboss-cli.sh -c --controller=127.0.0.1:9999 'version'JBoss Admin Command-line InterfaceJBOSS_HOME: /opt/AAS/latest/jbossJBoss AS release: 7.5.14.Final-redhat-2 'Janus'JBoss AS product: EAP 6.4.14.GA

2. Inspect the identity.conf file

# more /opt/jboss/.installation/identity.confpatches=cumulative-patch-id=jboss-eap-6.4.14.CPinstalled-patches=jboss-eap-6.4.1.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.2.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.3.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.4.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.5.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.6.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.7.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.8.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.9.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.10.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.11.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.12.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.13.CP,jboss-eap-6.4.14.CP

If it helps there is also a jar-versions.xml in my JBoss installation in JBoss root folder. This doesn't require you to wget or jar xvf.

E.g.

You can retrieve information about the version of your JBoss EAP installation by running the same script used to start the server with the -V switch. For Linux and Unix installations this script is run.sh and on Microsoft Windows installations it is run.bat. Regardless of platform the script is located in $JBOSS_HOME/bin. Using these scripts to actually start your server is dealt with in Chapter 4, Launching the JBoss EAP Server.

The version of JBoss should also be visible in the boot log file. Standard install would have that (for linux) in

/var/log/jboss/boot.log

$ head boot.log

so required info int the above case is

Release ID: JBoss [Trinity] 4.2.2.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_2_GA date=200710221139)

If you know the location of installed jboss folder then simply open it and look for version.txt file.
