Synopsis

    version [--help] [--verbose={false|true}]
    [--local={false|true}]

Description

The `version` subcommand displays version information for GlassFish Server. By default, if the subcommand cannot contact the domain administration server (DAS), the subcommand retrieves the version information locally and displays a warning message.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode and local mode.

Options

`--help`
`-?`

  Displays the help text for the subcommand.

`--verbose`
`-v`

  If this option is set to `true`, the subcommand provides the version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that the server is running. The default is `false`.

`--local`

  If this option is set to `true`, the subcommand obtains the version locally from the installation of GlassFish Server on the host where the subcommand is run.

  If this option is set to `false` (default), the subcommand attempts to contact the DAS to obtain the version. If the attempt to contact the DAS fails, the subcommand retrieves the version locally and displays a warning message.
