Check Important information like Product-name, Version, codename etc in Jboss EAP 6 or Wildfly 8 using CLI.

Sometimes, we need some information about the product we are using. Suppose, we want to know about the product version, name, codename or running mode in Jboss AS 7, Jboss EAP 6 or Wildfly-8.[0-1]. We can do all this easily using built in CLI utility.

Below are the steps :
1.) Start your Application Server Instance in any mode(standalone/domain). Here, we are doing all this in standalone mode.

root@lubuntu1:/data/wildfly-8.1.0.Final/bin# ./standalone.sh
=========================================================================

  JBoss Bootstrap Environment

  JBOSS_HOME: /data/wildfly-8.1.0.Final

  JAVA: java

  JAVA_OPTS:  -server -Xms64m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=org.jboss.byteman -Djava.awt.headless=true

   2.) Create a new Management user using add-user.sh|bat

root@lubuntu1:/data/wildfly-8.1.0.Final/bin# ./add-user.sh

What type of user do you wish to add?
 a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)
 b) Application User (application-users.properties)
(a):

Enter the details of the new user to add.
Using realm 'ManagementRealm' as discovered from the existing property files.
Username : admin
User 'admin' already exists and is disabled, would you like to...
 a) Update the existing user password and roles
 b) Enable the existing user
 c) Type a new username
(a):
Password recommendations are listed below. To modify these restrictions edit the add-user.properties configuration file.
 - The password should not be one of the following restricted values {root, admin, administrator}
 - The password should contain at least 8 characters, 1 alphabetic character(s), 1 digit(s), 1 non-alphanumeric symbol(s)
 - The password should be different from the username
Password :
Re-enter Password :

 3.) Connect to controller using ./jboss-cli.sh|bat script present in $JBOSS_HOME/bin directory.

lubuntu@lubuntu1:/data/wildfly-8.1.0.Final/bin$ ./jboss-cli.sh -c --controller=127.0.0.1:9990
Authenticating against security realm: ManagementRealm
Username: admin
Password:
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9990 /]

4.) Check all required Information :
     a.) Using 'ls -l'  command.

[standalone@127.0.0.1:9990 /] ls -l
ATTRIBUTE                VALUE       TYPE  
launch-type              STANDALONE  STRING
management-major-version 2           INT

In EAP 6.*

[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] ls -l
ATTRIBUTE                VALUE                 TYPE  
launch-type              STANDALONE            STRING
management-major-version 1                     INT

     b.) Using read-attribute :

[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=product-version
6.2.0.GA
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=product-name
EAP
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=launch-type
STANDALONE
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=release-codename
Janus
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=release-version
7.3.0.Final-redhat-14
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=running-mode
NORMAL
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] read-attribute --name=name
lubuntu1

[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] :read-attribute(name=product-version)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => "6.2.0.GA"
}
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] :read-attribute(name=product-name)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => "EAP"
}
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] :read-attribute(name=release-codename)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => "Janus"
}
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /] :read-attribute(name=release-version)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => "7.3.0.Final-redhat-14"
}
[standalone@127.0.0.1:9999 /]
