Class RifeAgent

java.lang.Object
  com.uwyn.rife.instrument.RifeAgent

public class RifeAgent
extends Object

The RIFE instrumentation agent will modify the bytecode of the classes that are loaded to provide new capabilities that are otherwise provided by the class-loader.

To activate the agent you need to execute the Java application with the proper argument, for example:

java -javaagent:/path/to/rife-agent-1.6-jdk15.jar com.your.mainClass

When the agent is active the class-loader will automatically be disabled to ensure that they are not conflicting with each other. The agent is packaged in its own jar file which should correspond to the RIFE version that you are using in your application.

Note that this agent doesn't entirely replace the functionality of the class-loader, during development mode you might want to make use of the automatic re-compilation of classes that is only provided by the class-loader. However, during production the agent is the recommended choice.
