How to know if my application is running over a JBoss server?

I am developing a GWT application.

And I would like to know if I am running over a Jboss instance or over a Jetty instance.

This is because if I am running over Jetty it means that I am running the dev mode and I need to redirect to MyModule.html?codeserver... but if I am running over Jboss I need to redirect to MyModule.html

But I can't figure how can I know if I am running over Jetty or over Jboss.

If you just want to know wether you are running production or development mode, then try 

GWT.isProdMode();

Only works client-side of course.

In a JSP, 

Server is <%= application.getServerInfo()%>

or use 

Server is ${pageContext.servletContext.serverInfo}

in a Servlet, 

String server = getServletContext().getServerInfo();

There's not really any simple way to determine what application server you're running on (to my knowledge). You could check some system properties to determine this.

JBoss:

jboss.server.name

Jetty:

jetty.home

Although I do not encourage having logic determined by your environment as Vikdor mentions in his answer. His suggestion would be a better approach.

You should not try to find out the webserver on which your application is running, in your application code. Instead you can have a discriminating parameter set in the context of your application with different values for different servers.

E.g.

For JBoss, the server.xml can contain a parameter in the context definition as follows:

<Context ...>
    ...
    <Parameter name="applicationStage" value="prod" />
    ...
</Context>

and for Jetty, the same context parameter would go into its jetty.xml but the value as "devo".
