**Kibana version** : 7.10.0 **Elasticsearch version** : 7.10.0 **APM Server version** : 7.10.0 **APM Agent language and version** : Java/1.19.0 **Browser version** : **Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: Docker **Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** Fresh **Is there anything special in your setup?** No **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: I'm not able to use @Traced in my Wildfly 19 app. Ok, not exactly mine - it's a sample app from Wildfly - [https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/master/ejb-in-war](https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/master/ejb-in-war) just added @Traced here and there ([https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/blob/master/ejb-in-war/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/quickstarts/ejbinwar/ejb/GreeterEJB.java](https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/blob/master/ejb-in-war/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/quickstarts/ejbinwar/ejb/GreeterEJB.java) sayHello method, to be exact). I can see JSF traces in Kibana (splitted into JSF execute and JSF Render phase) which is fine but I don't see sayHello span, that I expected to see. I'm able to create a span manually in the very same place which works absolutely fine but I would love to use @Traced instead. **Steps to reproduce** : 1. clone [https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/master/ejb-in-war](https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/master/ejb-in-war) 2. add @Traced annotation to GreeterEJB.sayHello 3. mvn package and deploy to WF 19 My WF JAVA\_OPTS: ```auto export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -javaagent:elastic-apm-agent-1.19.0.jar" export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.service_name=my-cool-service" export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.application_packages=org.jboss.as.quickstarts.ejbinwar" export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.server_urls=http://localhost:8200" ``` ---

Hm, that's strange. Config looks ok at a first glance. Could you share your full debug logs from the startup until after the first invocation? ---

I just tried it out in a standalone application to be sure and it works for me in version 1.19.0. Can you make sure that you're indeed using the `co.elastic.apm.api.Traced` annotation and that the `apm-agent-api` module is available on the classpath? Does the `@CaptureSpan` annotation work for you? ---

Hi, @Traced in standalone app works for me too. As for Wildfly - I do confirm that I use co.elastic.apm.api.Traced. Also tried @CaptureSpan and @CaptureTransaction unfortunately with no luck. Apm-agent-api is part of ear (manual span creation works fine). Also tried to add a Wildfly's global module ([http://docs.wildfly.org/19/Developer\_Guide.html#global-modules](http://docs.wildfly.org/19/Developer_Guide.html#global-modules)) that would include apm-agent-api, to be sure that Traced is accessible, still no luck. ---

Hi there, good news, or just a news - I made it work by changing package from org.jboss.as.quickstarts to org.jboss.asas.quickstarts. Is there something wrong with 'org.jboss.as' being part of a package name? Is it anyhow protected by WF? ---

Ah, right.. We're not instrumenting `org.jboss.as` by default to shave off a few seconds of overhead on startup. See also > ---
