To enable the Java™ virtualization
agent to capture Java method
calls being used by a Java application,
the agent must be loaded into the application's Java virtual machine (JVM). To load the agent
into the application's JVM, modify the startup parameters of the application.
About this task
The Java virtualization agent comprises the following
three JAR files, and an XML file for registration (
registration.xml):
- greenhat.javaagent.jar
- greenhat.javaagent.ext.jar
- greenhat.javaagent.linkage.jar
These JAR files provided in the
JavaAgent package
with
Rational® Test Control Panel must
always be in the same directory. The directory should be one that
the application can access.
The registration.xml file
in JavaAgent package need not be in the same
directory as the JAR files, but by default, it is assumed that it
is. If you place the registration.xml file in a different
location, specify the path in the javaagent property
in the following format: -javaagent:location of greenhat.javaagent.jar
file=location of registration.xml file.
Note: In
the following procedure, it is assumed that the files are present
in the C:\RITJavaVirtualizationAgent directory.
You must update the path as applicable to your environment.
Results
The application environment is configured to use the Java
virtualization agent. Before you can capture any Java method calls in the Recording Studio perspective,
you must create a Java method
transport in IBM Rational Integration Tester.

transport, see Creating logical Java application resources.
