Issue/Introduction

 

Trying to monitor an application using Rhino JavaScript engine, 

 

When agent is activated, the application fails to run because logs lists errors. Then the JavaScript Engine fails to load.

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : APM Agents

Cause

Conflict with the Rhino JavaScript

Resolution

Potential workaround configuration to avoid agent conflict with the version of Rhino Javascript engine used by the application.

Removing the default guava.jar file did not work and replacing with the Rhino Javascript.

Back up the existing /core/ext/lib/guava.jar from the agent installation and then replace it with the version used by Rhino Javascript.
