AspectWerkz 2.0 - Preparing Sun 1.4 JVMs

The infrared-agent-all-servlet-2.4.1.BETA.jar, infrared-agent-all-weblogic-.jar and infrared-agent-all-jboss-2.4.1.BETA.jar jars that ship with InfraRED all contain a META-INF\aop.xml file that pertains to AspectJ. If you plan to use AspectWerkz instead of AspectJ, please replace this file with the ones provided in props folder. servlet-aop.xml should go into infrared-agent-all-servlet-2.4.1.BETA.jar and ejb-aop.xml should go into infrared-agent-all-weblogic-2.4.1.BETA.jar and infrared-agent-all-jboss-2.4.1.BETA.jar.

The bootclasspath needs to be modified with an enhanced classloader implementation. This involves two steps:

  1. Prepare the enhanced classloader

    InfraRED ships with an aspectwerkz-core-2.0.jar. Using that file, run the following commands: 

    > set CLASSPATH=%INFRARED_HOME%\aspectwerkz-core-2.0.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
> java org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.hook.Plug -target %INFRARED_HOME%\enhanced.jar

    This creates a file enhanced.jar in INFRARED_HOME. (AspectWerkz documentation refers to this as 'Prepared bootclasspath').

  2. Setting up the bootclasspath

    Prepend enhanced.jar created above to the bootclasspath, aappend aspectwerkz-core-2.0.jar to the bootclasspath, and add aspectwerkz and infrared jars to the classpath. The following section describes this for Weblogic, Tomcat and JBoss servers.

    • Weblogic:

      You need to edit the DOMAIN_HOME\startWeblogic.cmd(sh) or DOMAIN_HOME\startManagedWeblogic.cmd(sh) file to add: 

                
@REM Integrate InfraRED with Weblogic running on Sun 1.3/4 JVM
set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xbootclasspath/p:%INFRARED_HOME%\enhanced.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:%INFRARED_HOME%\aspectwerkz-core-2.0.jar  %JAVA_OPTIONS%
set CLASSPATH=%INFRARED_HOME%\infrared-aspectsystem-all-2.4.1.BETA.jar;%INFRARED_HOME%\infrared-agent-all-weblogic-2.4.1.BETA.jar;%CLASSPATH%

      You can add these lines anywhere in the file before the command to launch the VM.

    • Tomcat:

      You need to:

      • edit the TOMCAT_HOME\bin\setclasspath.bat(sh) to add:

        @REM Integrate InfraRED with Tomcat running on Sun 1.3/4 JVM
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xbootclasspath/p:%INFRARED_HOME%\enhanced.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:%INFRARED_HOME%\aspectwerkz-core-2.0.jar  %JAVA_OPTS%

        You can add these lines anywhere in the file.

      • copy the file INFRARED_HOME\infrared-aspectsystem-all-2.4.1.BETA.jar into TOMCAT_HOME\common\endorsed directory
      • copy the infrared-agent-all-servlet-2.4.1.BETA.jar into TOMCAT_HOME\common\lib directory.

    • JBoss:

      You need to:

      • edit the JBOSS_HOME\run.bat(sh) to add:

        @REM Integrate InfraRED with JBoss running on Sun 1.3/4 JVM
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xbootclasspath/p:%INFRARED_HOME%\enhanced.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:%INFRARED_HOME%\aspectwerkz-core-2.0.jar  %JAVA_OPTS%

        You can add these lines anywhere in the file before the command to launch the VM.

      • copy the file INFRARED_HOME\infrared-aspectsystem-all-2.4.1.BETA.jar into >JBOSS_HOME\lib\endorsed directory
      • copy the file INFRARED_HOME\infrared-agent-all-jboss-2.4.1.BETA.jar into JBOSS_HOME\server\default\lib directory.
