I am trying to add a javaagent to my bluemix app, this agent uses Instrumentation. The thing is that when I run the application I get the following error:
premain() - Instrumentation is already running
...
CWWKF0004E: An unknown exception occurred while installing or removing features. Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: agent.ClassInstrumentorTransform
ERR at com.ibm.ws.kernel.feature.internal.subsystem.SubsystemFeatureDefinitionImpl.setHeader(SubsystemFeatureDefinitionImpl.java)
ERR at [internal classes]
I have tried creating another agent with the same Premain-Class and Agent-Class structure but with my own classes and it works, I have tried uploading my own copy of Instrumentation classes and point the javaagent to it using Class-Path but the error still appears.
Any sugestion what can be the problem? I suspect maybe the Bluemix enviorment uses the Instrumentation, any ideas how this might be checked and how I can solve the inter dependency?
Based on the error message, it looks like you have a class in a feature bundle that is trying to access a class from the javaagent, but you have not added the javaagent package to org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation as described in the Specifying Liberty profile bootstrap properties" topic in the knowledge center topic.
