Class JBossLoadTimeWeaver

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.instrument.classloading.jboss.JBossLoadTimeWeaver

All Implemented Interfaces:

LoadTimeWeaver

public class JBossLoadTimeWeaver
extends Object
implements LoadTimeWeaver

LoadTimeWeaver implementation for JBoss's instrumentable ClassLoader. Autodetects the specific JBoss version at runtime: currently supports JBoss AS 5, 6 and 7 (as of Spring 3.1).

NOTE: On JBoss 6.0, to avoid the container loading the classes before the application actually starts, one needs to add a WEB-INF/jboss-scanning.xml file to the application archive - with the following content:

<scanning xmlns="urn:jboss:scanning:1.0"/>

Thanks to Ales Justin and Marius Bogoevici for the initial prototype.

Since:

3.0
