Hi all

I tried to deploy an web application onto the current latest glassfish
v2 build 38 <https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2-b38.html>
running on sun jdk 1.6.0
<http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp> (build105). I
encountered a couple of problems and appreciate if you can kindly help
me resolve them.

Though the web app was deployed and started successfully, it seems not
able to load the logger
*(com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.ServerLogManager*) specified by
*java.util.logging.manager*, throwing the following exception and
subsequent logging entries for glassfish become missing.

It seems that

    * *org.aspectj.weaver.tools.Jdk14Trace* (from *aspectjweaver.jar*
      specified in *-javaagent:* jvm option)

tried to load

    * *com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.ServerLogManager *in
      *appserv-rt.jar* loaded via Shared Chain Class Loader (specified
      by *-Djava.util.logging.manager* loadable via
      -Dcom.sun.aas.classloader.sharedChainJars)

The exception observed (enclosed) can be explained if classes specified
in -javaagent: are loaded by System CL (which is parent of Shared Chain
CL so cannot load those classes in its children) according to the
GlassFish class loading hierarchy
<https://glassfish.dev.java.net/nonav/javaee5/docs/DG/beade.html#beadh>.

_Questions
_
In this case,

   1. how can we have the classes specified via *-javaagent:* able to
      load those classes (e.g. in Shared Chain CL) available lower down
      in the CL hierarchy (coz' it may not be feasible to put everything
      in System CL) ?
   2. can we override *java.util.logging.manager* within
      context/execution of our web apps (vs that set during glassfish
      initialisation) so it points to something available with the web
      apps (e.g. apache commons logging, log4J, etc) ?

Adding to domain.xml the jvm-option :

    * -Dcom.sun.aas.useNewClassLoader=false

to try to disable the new Shared Chain Class Loader does not seem to help.

Btw, this seems like a generic problem of deploying AspectJ
Load-Time-Weaving (LTW) web application on GlassFish due to the
requirement of AspectJ LTWeaver to be loaded via "-javaagent:" jvm
option (hence via System Class Loader) in GlassFish. (Ref. AspectJ
Load-Time Weaving Configuration
<http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/devguide/ltw-configuration.html>).

Appreciate any input / ideas....

Thanks!
