How do I start an agent and WebLogic using an Ant script?

[pclark]

Question

I am trying to start the Java Agent in a WebLogic environment that deploys and starts the Weblogic domains via an ANT script. Where in the Ant target do I place the agent. Has anyone tried to do instrumentation via an Ant script?

I added something like this to one of the deployment and run ant targets. However, the Java Agent argument doesn’t seem to find its way to the jvm.

<jvmarg value=“-javaagent:/u01/apps/appdynamics/appagent/javaagent.jar”/>

Answer

Pass it as an "arg" rather than a JVM arg since it is not a -D arg.
