JRebel Remote Installation on a Domino Server 12.0.2

Question

I have a question concerning JRebel Remote Installation on a Domino Server 12.0.2

https://manuals.jrebel.com/jrebel/remoteserver/eclipse.html#eclipseremoteserver

In the beginning it looked promising, jrebel seems to be installed correctly, but after restarting the server I got some xpages/osgi initialization errors:

notes.ini

JavaOptionsFile=D:\IBM\Domino\JRebelOptionsFile.txt

JRebelOptionsFile.txt

-agentpath:D:\jrebel\lib\jrebel64.dll -Drebel.remoting_plugin=true

Any idea what's wrong? Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

I have done the same thing on a Domino Server 12.0.1 without any troubles:

Answer 1

This might have to do something with the modified dll loading scheme in 12.0.2 as described here:

C API OSLoadLibrary changes
On Windows, if a fully qualified path is not specified for a library to be loaded, the C API OSLoadLibrary no longer searches the path for the library.

Instead, by default, this API searches the Notes or Domino executable directory, the Windows System directory, and the Windows directory. You can use notes.ini variables of the format OSLL_<#>= to specify up to five additional locations to search. For example:
OSLL_3="d:\Application\Libraries".

You could try to add the dll path of JRebel to Domino using the notes.ini variable OSLL_1 as described in a similar issue regarding ScanMail for Domino here.
