remote debug of weblogic cluster

[Joe Robles]

Hi all,

We have weblogic 9.2 version.

Is there a way to remote/debug a J2EE application deployed on a weblogic cluster. I have an issue that is happening only on the cluster enviornment and thus need to debug it thru eclipse.

Please let me know the steps to accomplish this.

Your input is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your valuable input and time.

Sure you can, as long as the weblogic server is started in debug mode and is listening on a port for debug protocol messages. Use the -Xdebug flag to enable debugging

More here -> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/jdb.html

Example: java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_shmem,address=jdbconn,server=y,suspend=n MyClass

I think there is a debug environment variable flag that you can set that will enable all this by default. After you have done this simply go to eclipse and configure a remote application. This can be done in debug configuration.

Let me know if you need more info

For a clustered environment, wouldn't it be necessary to start a debug process for each machine in the cluster?

You should be able to debug each server in the cluster by following the approach mentioned above. In short the answer is yes

Short. But Wrong I think. One would think one could set the debug flags int eh WebLogic Console for "Server Start" for the server to be debugged within this cluster; but, this hasn't worked for me so far. Has anyone gotten this working?
