Hi, I'm running JBoss profiler version 2 in JBoss 4.2.2. I have followed the instructions in the README.txt verbatim, but cannot get it to 'log' any method calls. My setup is as follows: - Windows XP machine - Compiled JBoss Profiler version 2 from svn (at version 423) using the build file - resulted in dist dir from which all artefacts are taken - Copied jboss-profiler.jar to JBOSS_HOME/bin - Copied jboss-profiler.properties to JBOSS_HOME/bin - Copied jboss-profiler-plugins.jar to JBOSS_HOME/bin - Copied jboss-profiler.sar to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy - Edited run.bat to include the following line: set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -javaagent:jboss-profiler.jar -Djboss-profiler.properties=jboss-profiler.properties My jboss-profiler.properties file looks as follows: | core=javassist | enable=yes | cpu=yes | memory=yes | includes=com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.* | excludes=* | visibility=private | save=yes | startup=yes | repository=no | remote=yes | store=memory | location=. | host=localhost | port=5400 | ejb=yes | servlet=yes | jsf=yes | jmx=yes | rmi=yes | corba=yes | plugin.1=org.jboss.profiler.plugins.Hibernate | I then boot jboss. I notice the following lines on the console which indicate to me that I have configured 'correctly': | D:\servers\jboss\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin>run -b 127.0.0.1 | =============================================================================== | | JBoss Bootstrap Environment | | JBOSS_HOME: D:\servers\jboss\jboss-4.2.2.GA | | JAVA: C:\dev\java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin\java | | JAVA_OPTS: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n -Dprogram.name=run.bat -server -Dsun.rmi.dgc.c | lient.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Dewage.configuration-name=justin -Dorg.apache.tapestry.disable-c | aching=true -Xms64m -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -javaagent:jboss-profiler.jar -Djboss-profiler.properties=jboss-profiler.propert | ies | | CLASSPATH: C:\dev\java\jdk1.5.0_14\lib\tools.jar;D:\servers\jboss\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin\run.jar | | =============================================================================== | | JBoss Profiler 2.0.CR9 (Sun Microsystems Inc. 1.5.0_14) | JBoss Profiler depends on external communication module | Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8787 | 21:38:08,187 INFO [Server] Starting JBoss (MX MicroKernel)... | ... | ... | etc etc There are no errors in my log file. I also have a simple EJB3 session bean which I wish to profile, which starts up correctly. The bean implementation class is in the package com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3 I then invoke my bean a number of times from a test client. The bean creates 1000 instances of a POJO class, SomeClass (in the same package) during its invocation. I then shutdown the server (shutdown.bat -S), at which point the server exits gracefully leaving my with a timestamped .jps file I then run the command: java -Xmx512m -Djboss-profiler-client.properties=jboss-profiler-client.properties -jar jboss-profiler-client.jar load <file-name>.jps on the file, which produces a directory. A directory with the timestamped name is created containing the files: classes.txt hotspots.txt methods.txt overview.txt and two directories: classes threads The classed directory contains 2 files: com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.EJB3SessionBean.txt com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.SomeClass.txt None of these files contain any evidence of a method invocation/thread usage. For example, overview.txt: | From: 17 April 2008 21:38:07:875 | To : 17 April 2008 21:44:02:812 | | Threads: | ======== | | Most time: | ========== | Count Ms % Method | | Hotspots: | ========= | Count Ms Avg % Method | | Classes: | ======== | com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.EJB3SessionBean EJB_SESSION 0.00 ms | com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.SomeClass POJO 0.00 ms | com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.SomeClass.txt is as follows: | com.sadalbari.demo.ejb3.SomeClass POJO | Total time: 0.00 ms | Wait time: 0.00 ms | | Methods: | ======== | Count Ms % (C) % (T) Method | | Hotspots: | ========= | Count Ms Avg % Method | I've done a bit of digging/messing and my feeling is that there is something wrong with the MANIFEST of the jboss-profiler.jar file. This file contains the following entry (on one line) Boot-Class-Path: jboss-profiler.jar jboss-profiler-connectors.jar jboss-profiler-plugins.jar asm.jar javassist.jar ../lib/javassist.jar jboss-remoting.jar jboss-common.jar concurrent.jar log4j.jar o Very few of these jars are resolveable from the location in which the startup script is inited (JBOSS_HOME/bin). o A number of them don't even exist in jboss (for example jboss-profiler-connectors.jar which _is_ part of the profiler build, but was not mentioned in any setup step) o Why is asm.jar repeated? I tried cleaning up as far as possible and pointing to the jars in the jboss installation. As I went along I got a number of NoClassDefFoundError exceptions, which I resolved by adding the jars to the Boot-Class-Path. For example, when I resolved the jboss-remoting.jar correctly (I actually just copied the jar to the bin directory), I got Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/mx/util/JBossNotificationBroadcasterSupport at org.jboss.remoting.network.NetworkRegistry.(NetworkRegistry.java:55) Eventually I got to a point where I got a NPE in the JBoss boot sequence. Has anybody got the profiler working properly with JBoss 4.2.2? Any help would be appreciated. ---- BTW - there is also an error in /JBossProfiler2/src/etc/jboss-service.xml: false is repeated twice, once with true, the second time with the value false View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4144989#...
