Hi Amol

Thats interesting. Can you attach a screenshot of your Servlet SEnsor Properties Dialog? The stack trace you attached shows that this is the dynaTrace code that captures Servlet Parameters that you want to capture. A quick look into your configuration would help to better understand what the problem might be

Also - can you provide the exact version and platform information of your IBM WAS?

Thanks

Are you planning on upgrading to dynaTrace 6? It seems you are still on 5.6 - so - an upgrade would be interesting and see if that has a positive affect.

I am not aware of a known issue in the IBM JVM - but - in the past we on and off had customers with some issues with the IBM JVM. We keep improving our implementation for IBM JVM - thats why I am wondering if you could upgrade to benefit from the latest improvements.

You could also open a support ticket and referencing to this forum post. Maybe my colleagues from technical support know about this behavior

Amol,

Please consider that getting parameter (like using the * operator to get all parameter) can be very expensive. One quick sanity test would be to disable parameter capturing

Just as a sanity check - could you try removing that single parameter and see whehter that makes a difference?
