    Default How do confirm the tomcat process running state from the Java Code

    Hi,

    I started the tomcat-8.5 in standalone mode (as a windows process) using stratup.bat and I wanted to confirm that the tomcat process is running or not from my java code.
    Please suggest me a solution for finding the tomcat process from the java code.


    Thank you

    Is it a server that can be connected with?

    My java code is a standalone program having main() and the tomcat server is started from the same.
    Here I need to know that the server is stared or not?

    Thank you

    Can you use a socket to connect to the server and ask it what it is doing?

    Thank you for the reply,
    In my case I wanted to know with process name instead of socket to connected.

    --- Update ---

    In existing application I am using below code to know the tomcat running state,

    Existing code with java-8: tools.jar
    import sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredHost;
    import sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredVm;
    import sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredVmUtil;
    import sun.jvmstat.monitor.VmIdentifier;

    // procName = “Bootstrap”
    /**
    * Confirm startup of server process
    * Obtain process information of JavaVM and check whether specified startup class is running
    * true: Starting / false: not running
    */
    private static boolean checkServerProcess(String procName) {
    boolean blRet = false;
    try {
    MonitoredHost host = MonitoredHost.getMonitoredHost("localhost");
    for (Object processId : host.activeVms()) {
    MonitoredVm vm = host.getMonitoredVm(new VmIdentifier("//" + processId + "?mode=r"));

    if(MonitoredVmUtil.mainClass(vm, true).contains(procName)) {
    blRet = true;
    break;
    }
    }
    } catch(Exception e) {
    blRet = false;
    }
    return blRet;
    }


    but now I am using Java-11 and we wanted to do same without tools.jar


    thank you

    Sorry, I've never used classes from the tools.jar file.

    Thank you,

    Is there any other way to do the same without using tools.jar classes.

    do the same
    I don't know anything about asking an OS about what other programs are running. That is not a normal question for a java program.
    Is there an OS program that could be called from the java Runtime class and then read and parse its response?
