Configuring JRebel 5 with Resin 3.1.x on mac

Question

I'm evaluating JRebel, I was able to install and test it on tomcat in few minutes but I've spent hours trying to configure it with Resin 3.1. I'm geting the following error in the app server log:

#############################################################

JRebel Resin installation problem!

See http://www.zeroturnaround.com/resin-problem/ or consult with the installation manual for correct JRebel installation with Resin server.

#############################################################

and when I navigate to the indicated url: http://www.zeroturnaround.com/resin-problem/ I received a 404 page not found.

I was able to redeploy jsps but class are never instrumented by JRebel (but they are correctly monitored by jrebel, as stated in the jrebel.log). Simply executing the web app doesn't trigger monitored class instrumentation and reloading.

I read about an issue with the Resin class loader (SystemClassLoader) and JRebel instrumentation but I don't understand how to configure JRebel to solve it and the cited url about resin-problem is not available.

Was anybody able to integrate JRebel with Resin 3.1.x?

Answer 1

How did you configure -javaagent argument?

Should be configured like this:
