How to determine type of Application Server an application is running on?

Our EJB3 application can run on top of Oracle AS or JBoss AS. Is there a way to find out type of AS during runtime?

Another way is to check for an app-server specific value in System properties.

// EXAMPLE:
if (System.getProperty("catalina.base") != null) {
  // Using Tomcat
  ...
else if (System.getProperty("jboss.server.name") != null) {
  // Using JBoss
  ...
else if (System.getProperty("was.install.root") != null) {
  // Using WebSphere
  ...

You can check the concrete type of object at runtime using reflection, e.g. the EJBContext that is injected by the app. server.
