How to retrieve Glassfish Version programmatically?

[andichief]

Is it possible to get the Glassfish Version f.e. via an MBean? Or is there another better way?

on weblogic we used this code. Is there an equivalent in Glassfish?

        MBeanServer server = (MBeanServer)initialCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime");
        ObjectName runtimeService = new ObjectName("com.bea:Name=RuntimeService,Type=weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime.RuntimeServiceMBean");
        ObjectName serverrt = (ObjectName)server.getAttribute(runtimeService,"ServerRuntime");
        weblogicVersion =  String.valueOf(server.getAttribute(serverrt, "WeblogicVersion"));

Similar method should work in GlassFish:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
MBeanServer mBeanServer = (MBeanServer) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime");
ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName("amx:pp=/,type=domain");
return (String) mBeanServer.getAttribute(objectName, "Version");

lookup of "java:comp/env/jmx/runtime" doesn't work
javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for java:comp/env/jmx/runtime in SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming}]

I tried but there seems to be no MBean exposed to get Glassfish infos from. Do I maybe have to enable something on the glassfish monitoring?

    MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
    for (ObjectName queryName : server.queryNames(null, null)) {
        log.info("queryName>>>>>" + queryName);
    }

You might need to invoke a special AMX Boot bean to enable the GlassFish beans.

• ObjectName: amx-support:type=boot-amx
• operation: bootAMX (without arguments)

After calling the bootAMX operation on that bean, all GlassFish beans should become available.

This happens also if you access GlassFish locally via a JMX client. The "amx" root becomes available only after pressing the "bootAMX" button on the boot-amx bean:

@OndroMih thanks for the hints

                MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
                server.invoke(new ObjectName("amx-support:type=boot-amx"), "bootAMX", null, null);
                ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName("amx:pp=/,type=domain"); // with jconsole mbeans can easily be viewed
                appServerVersion = (String) server.getAttribute(objectName, "Version");

final code that worked

                MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
                server.invoke(new ObjectName("amx-support:type=boot-amx"), "bootAMX", null, null);
                ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName("amx:pp=/,type=domain"); 
                String appServerVersion = (String) server.getAttribute(objectName, "Version");
