You'll need a ASM-3.x jar file - the profiler will switch to Javassist before GA.

You can use the 1.0.CR4 release together wth AS-4.0:

http://labs.jboss.com/jbossprofiler/

Please, note that its a completely different codebase and contains a binary module. See the documentation for further details.

Otherwise just try the 2.0.CR8 together with AS-4.0 and report success/failure.

Hope this helps !

b@lls :) we cannot use jdk1.5 at all with our current codebase, I'm about to try Profiler 2 with 1.6, will let you know what results I get.

Getting this while connecting to the profiler

You need jboss-profiler.sar in deploy/ if you want remote access to it (see README.txt; deployment steps).

Control the communicator through the MBean in jmx-console.

Hope this helps !

[imavroukakis]

Yep it's there :-). RMI is the only thing that seems to work, socket and http both blow up.

[jesper.pedersen]

Try to compile the distribution using the libraries from the AS-4.0 installation - it may help.

But one protocol is enough, right ? You are able to retrieve the information from the server, right ?

I will look into deployment in AS-4.0 at some point - but can't say when.

Hope this helps !

Hi,

so far, I was successuflly able to set up the profiler as I see the MBean in the JMX console. Starting works fine, but it seems that the proerties file is completely ignored (which I put in the server's bin directory and included the setting in the run.conf).

Secondly, if I try to issue a stopProfiler or snapshot command, I get:

java.lang.NullPointerException

even though I tried to add some classes before (and also set the include proerty in the file). I am using JBoss 4.0.4-GA right now. Is there anything which I can change?

[jesper.pedersen]

Have you checked the rest of this thread regarding AS-4.0 and followed all the deployment steps in the README.txt file ?

It doesn't sound like the -D properties are set up correctly...

I'll add a guard for the NPE.

Hope this helps !

hello all,

I'm trying to get this profiler working with my setup.

JBoss: 4.22GA
Jetty. 617
JDK 1.5

Im following the instructions in the readme.txt, but I'm stuck on this line...

Edit run.conf in jbossas/bin to include JBoss Profiler in JAVA_OPTS


Do I setup something under 'PROFILER=' or via the JAVA_OPTS? if so what?

Thanks
Jeff Porter

[jeff_porter]

forgot to say I'm on Windows.


Thanks
Jeff Porter

[jesper.pedersen]

You properly need to include the JAVA_OPTS directly in run.bat.

No need to update the PROFILER setting.

Otherwise you should be ok in your setup - let me know if this works.

[angusm]

Try copying the jboss-remoting.jar from the jboss-profiler-2.0.CR8 release to your jbossas 4.0.x. I have it working now with AS 4.0.5.

[pon.umapathy]

Hi,
Is there any gui based tool to analyze the snapshot information?

[jesper.pedersen]

There will be a GUI based tool when we hit GA.

E.g. we are working on it currently :)

Hi

I'm trying to get this profiler working with my setup. I'm running on
Windows:

JBoss: 4.3.0 GA
jboss-profile-2.0.CR8

I am following the instructions in the readme.txt. When a start up, I get
the following error:

2008-04-08 10:23:53,068 DEBUG [org.jboss.deployment.SARDeployer] Registering service UCL=jmx.loading:UCL=177fa9a

I have jboss-profile.jar in my bin directory, and jar tf shows

Not sure how to resolve. Thanks.
