When loading dynamically, the agent doesn't necessarily perform the transformations defined in the XML probes supplied as a path argument.

When the agent initialises, it creates a class file transformer. The transformer then waits for classes with pending transformations to be loaded, or to be explicitly submitted with 'instrumentation.retransformClasses(Class[])'.

Without the agent itself explicitly calling 'instrumentation.retransformClasses(Class[])' on classes with pending transformations, such transformations will never apply.
