Hi, I was hoping to get some help/suggestion since I have nearly exhausted all options (at least, I have tried quite a few items).
I have an instrumentation agent which i want to load after the VM starts tomcat. I have no problem loading the agent itself. What I am having issues with is the classloader that loads the agent. By Default System class loader loads any agent as per Instrumentation docs. But I suppose there might be a trick which can use the same classloader as the web application e.g. using ParallelWebappClassLoader. If I do Class.forName() check before the agent is injected ParallelWebappClassLoader loads my agent class. But as soon as the VM invokes the agent, I can no longer have the same loader. System class loader takes over. Could anyone share any experience in this area so that I can load my agent with one of Tomcat's app classloaders? Kindest Regards,
