| I'm trying to remote debug an application on a WebSphere - Express Server 5.0. I'm following the instructions found in the redbook titled:
WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5 programming Guide
From within that redbook I'm reading chapter 16, the section titled:
Debugging on a remote WebSphere Application Server
Server Information:
WebSphere Platform 5.0 [EXPRESS 5.0.2.3 cf30403.04]
Host Operating System is OS/400, version V5R2M0
Java version = 1.3.1, Java Compiler = NONE, Java VM name = Classic VM
Studio Information:
WebSphere Studio Site Developer (Windows)
Version: 5.0.1
Build id: 20030423_1316
I exported my application as a .war file with Source code to the Server.
I created a server instance to attach to within Studio. Added my project. Clicked Debug and was able to "connect" to the server.
I then switch back to the Web or Servers perspective and select "Debug On Server". My "Remote Server Attach" instance is the only choice and I use that.
From this point I get mixed results. In some cases I get the standard classloader message you get when Studio can't find the source code. In this case, I use F7 to step out of the code but it seems to be in some sort of loop. I never actually get to se
e any source. I can tell by console output that the application is running. I never get that prompt you would see if debugging within Studio about "step into code".
In other cases the application just runs as if I had never selected debug on server. (Even though I had.)
Has anyone every remotely debugged an application on WebSphere Express? Can it really be done??? (I'm starting to wonder.)
Anyway idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Randall
