browser version detection from server side with java

I saw many posts related to the browser detection, User agent detection etc...I want to detect the version from server side and send appropriate data based on that.

I know browsers can mimic version with tools, but that doesn't matter for me.

I need the java solution for the exact version detection.

Use Spring Mobile Device Module?

This can use either the LiteDeviceResolver or the WurflDeviceResolver.

Here is the code explaining how to do it using user-agent-utils:

String userAgent = req.getHeader("user-agent");
UserAgent ua = UserAgent.parseUserAgentString(userAgent);
Version browserVersion = ua.getBrowserVersion();
String browserName = ua.getBrowser().toString();
int majVersion = Integer.parseInt(browserVersion.getMajorVersion());

Check the headers in the HTTP servlet request - they'll tell you. Check the "User-Agent" header.
