Class JavaEnvironment

java.lang.Object

org.apache.shiro.util.JavaEnvironment

public abstract class JavaEnvironment
extends Object

Internal helper class used to find the Java/JDK version that Shiro is operating within, to allow for automatically adapting to the present platform's capabilities.

Note that Shiro does not support 1.2 or earlier JVMs - only 1.3 and later.

This class was borrowed and heavily based upon a nearly identical version found in the Spring Framework, with minor modifications. The original author names and copyright (Apache 2.0) has been left in place. A special thanks to Rod Johnson, Juergen Hoeller, and Rick Evans for making this available.

Since:

0.2
