Environment

APM 10.7 
Java Agent
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_332
Atlassian Confluence Apache Tomcat 9.0.58 

Resolution

Make sure that the boot delegation argument is not declared, otherwise it will cause the class load order issue.

Tomcat configurations should go into a file called setenv.sh, do not need to add a boot delegation to tomcat, Eg:

[[email protected] docker]# cat setenv.sh
WILY_APPN="MyTomcatAgent"
WILY_PROC="MyTomcatProc"
WILY_OPTS="-javaagent:/usr/local/wily/Agent.jar -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.customProcessName=${WILY_PROC} -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=${WILY_APPN} -Dintroscope.agent.hostName=${WILY_HOST}"
JAVA_HOME="/opt/java/openjdk"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS $WILY_OPTS "

You should never edit any official files from apache to integrate our agent (edited) setenv.bat for windows.
