We are attempting to switch from the regular WebSphere JVM monitor (check_was) to avoid the high CPU consumption cost of firing up a separate JVM for each JVM we want to monitor (~20 per server * number of servers).

The agent we are trying to switch to is "wasagent" which requires jetty libraries etc. which I'm most unfamiliar with. I feel like I’m so very close to getting this to work and it would be great for monitoring and reducing the footprint for monitoring WebSphere.

I’m looking for the JAR library that contains the one object that the wasagent can't seem to find on its classpath, and I’ve searched all the JAR in IBM’s java and a standard Linux Java 1.6 version without any success. Where is this dang object?

This is what I’m looking for – and one would think it would be so easy:

I’ve found an awful lot of javax.servlet.* objects and all of the jetty stuff the program needs to run, but as of yet I haven’t a clue as to where SessionTrackingMode is hiding. Anyone else run into this little dilemma?

This is very puzzling to me.

I was able to resolve my own issue ... seems java comes in pieces now (thanks Oracle).

Here's what I found I needed:

For running the wasagent software I need this version of Java (Java EE v6u3 Web) <==== only oracle makes it this simple

Thanks anyway. I hope I save someone else a lot of time.

Thanks for the feedback on Java!
