I am interseted in dev a web based application that takes an IPaddress as input and retuns the Sytem properites like device name, OS,etc...I have a vague idea of using the java Properties class but need more ideas.Ideas please?
Some of the information is not so hard to fetch, such as IP and WHOISinfo. OS detection is an exception. Maybe you can use JNI to call nmap'sAPI or query to www.netcraft.com to do that.
I think you are not old pn tomcat 5 because you must download adminpart separately.
As I know there is no admin webapp for tomcat 6 andthere is no plan to implement it.
so use tomcat 5 admin section it will work
