hello ,
I'm using macOS sierra , firstly i installed java(jdk 9.0.1) after that i installed the apache tomcat server and it worked successfully after that i followed the instructions in the video of installing java agent ; as i downloaded the agent and followed the steps but i can't attach the server to the agent due to the error (in the below screenshot):
i noticed that tools.jar not exist in the JDK lib folder , but i don't know why and is it the problem or what ?
how can i fix this issue , please ?
Thanks

java 9 removed tools.jar from the distribution, and also removed the -Xbootclasspath option (see the modules spec)
You should find that the agent will attach to your running tomcat if you simply remove this option from the command line.
Warm regards,

thanks peter for your support ,but i tried it but it failed also so could you tell me what needs to be modified in the command so that it can attached successfully ,the original command :
sudo java -Xbootclasspath/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/classes.jar -jar /Users/amrgamal/Downloads/AppServerAgent-4/ver4.3.3.9/javaagent.jar
Best Regards

I just noticed from the path in your command that you are using version 4.3.3.9 of the agent.
JDK9 support was a new feature we introduced in the 4.4 release, so you will need to upgrade to a 4.4 agent and controller, or downgrade to jdk 8 to get this working.
Warm regards,
Peter

Are you sure the java command hasn't picked up the java 9 JDK?
What happens if you replace "java" with "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" ?

yeah i'm sure i removed jdk9
the same error happened

Ah, I just noticed that your bootclasspath option is slightly malformed
From the documentation, you want to run the command like this:
java -Xbootclasspath/a:<path_to_jdk>/lib/tools.jar -jar /<agent_home>/javaagent.jar <jvm_process_id>
you're missing the "/a:" part, and the process ID of your running tomcat. Can you try adding these?

nice , i modified the command and get the process id but it raised an exception ,
i think the problem is in the process id , it check for it but it changed over time
