apm-agent-java: karaf error when using apm 1.3.0

Hallo folks,

sadly, I have to open a bug report regarding the APM 1.3.0. I sadly don’t know if it has worked with any other version before, but it seems to be an issue regarding “Apache Karaf”. Hopefully some of you can jump in and resolve this matter, so we can use the elastic jvm apm.

Describe the bug Nexus OSS 3.15.1 & 3.14.0 won’t start after adding APM 1.3.0 as a java option. I tried it with the UNIX and Mac version. Error Log can be found down further down.

java -version :( java version "1.8.0_151" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour: When I write /nexus, the / refers to the top directory when the tar.gz is extracted.

  1. Download nexus oss 3.15.1 from sonatype (https://www.sonatype.com/nexus-repository-oss)
  2. Download elastic-apm-1.3.0.jar
  3. Use default nexus oss config
  4. Add the apm as javaagent in /nexus/bin/nexus.vmoptions
  5. Start nexus with /nexus/bin/nexus start
  6. See error from JVM in /sonatype-work/nexus3/log/jvm.log
  7. See error from nexus in/sonatype-work/nexus3/log/nexus.log

Expected behaviour Even when adding elastic-apm-1.3.0.jar, nexus oss should start properly.

not setting the boot_delegation_packages at all causes the problem to apear again.

This is expected. However,

leave the option boot_delegation_packages empty and dont append co.elastic.apm.agent.* to \karaf\etc\config.properties fixed also the problem

means that the OSGi allowed delegating loading of our classes, which is confusing…

In any case, I am glad this provides a solution. If you get an error of our classes not found, just use one of the options 1/2.

Thanks for testing and reporting!

@eyalkoren I’ve tried it now, this is the result:

Option 1 -> Fixed the problem Option 2 -> Fixed the problem

Option 2a: leave the option boot_delegation_packages empty and dont append co.elastic.apm.agent.* to \karaf\etc\config.properties fixed also the problem.

But not setting the boot_delegation_packages at all causes the problem to apear again.

So for me it’s fixed with the new option, regardless of the setting of it.

Thank you very much! 👍

This would be awsome, because its only needed for hosts with the agent running.

Thank you! 👍
