Hi Henk, There is actually a process that is launched by the Agent Discoverer. The process that is launched is periodically queried to determine if there are any agents associated with it. As soon as an agent is discovered, it is automatically attached and monitored.
I believe your use case is different. You intend to use the launch configuration to only discover an agent that is already running on a particular host. Although this is currently possible (using the Attach - Java Process launch configuration type), the use case is a bit obscure and it is being redone in 4.4. Please see the following enhancement: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139085 Thanks, Ali Mehregani On 4/9/07, Aling, Henk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
My goal is to use the launch framework for configurations that attach to agents without launching a process. I started looking at The Agent Discoverer as a sufficiently close example. Unfortunately I got confused by the logic that is executed for this case (I use the "Java Application" launch configuration): The confusing thing is that, even though the Agent Discoverer is really an agent object, in this particular case the agent returned to the primary launch delegate must be null. Then, even though no process is associated with it, a dummy process of class CustomProcess must be created to circumvent some problem with the RAC. Then later a dummy agent of class DummyAgent is created to simulate an active event, in a rather obscure place/logic path. What I would expect in this case is just the opposite, namely that a non-null agent is returned to the primary launch delegate, and that the logic of how to launch a process-less data collector is implemented in the primary launch delegate itself, without a need for a dummy agent and a dummy process. I tried modifying the CustomDelegate example documented under "Registering a Custom Data Collection Mechanism with TPTP's Launch Configuration Framework " by implementing IDataCollectorAgentLauncher instead of subclassing off AbstractProcessLauncher but then no tree node representing an agent shows up in the profile monitor. Thanks in advance for any advice, Henk Aling Wind River _______________________________________________ tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev mailing list tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev
