Hello Authors and everyone,

Its nice to have you around for answering our queries.

So here goes my two interrelated queries:


1. Is it possible to debug a web application (deployed war file) in JBoss4.0.2 using Netbeans 6.0. I have tried it without much success.

2. Moreover, If its possible then, I would like to run both the front-end and back-end of my application (both deployed in JBoss 4.0.2) together in Debug mode. So that I can test my application and its calls end to end.


Backend of my application (deployed on JBoss 4.0.2 server) is already running in Netbeans Debug mode already.


Best Regards
Sumit

You can start JBoss in debug mode. You have to edit the run.bat file to configure the debug options. This is how i do it for Eclipse:

1) Edit the run.bat file of JBoss to use the following debug options (note the suspend=n option, this tells the server not to wait till the debugger attaches itself to the server ):




2) Start the server from the command line, using the run.bat file.

3) Once the server has completely started, i go to my (plain) Eclipse project and create a new "Remote Java Application" debug session (if it's not already created). In the "Port" text box i specify 8787 (the same as what i have in the run.bat). Then click on Debug.

The steps will be the same for NetBeans too (expect for the part where you have to configure NetBeans to listen to the debug port).

OK, but at office we use Linux systems... so I change that string into

and insert it at the beginning of run.sh. When I try to start jboss, I get the following output:

=========================================================================

JBoss Bootstrap Environment

JAVA: /usr/lib/java/bin/java

JAVA_OPTS: -Dprogram.name=debug.sh -server -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

CLASSPATH: /opt/jboss/bin/run.jar:/usr/lib/java/lib/tools.jar

=========================================================================

ERROR: JDWP unable to get necessary JVMTI capabilities. ["debugInit.c",L279]


I have done this before, and I have no idea of what to do now. Any idea? Thanks for the reply...

The debug options are repeated twice and as a result you see that error. The JAVA_OPTS probably has the debug options already set and you need not set it again. Undo the "export" you had done and start JBoss. See if the messages on console show anything about debug options (or you can post the console log here)

I removed the final $JAVA_OPTS in the export and now the debug options isn't repeated. Anyway I still can't see any debug info at JBoss start... My debug.sh file script:
Here is the output:

This shows that JBoss has been started in debug mode. Now all that you have to do is configure Eclipse to listen on this port (as explained in my earlier post) and set breakpoints in your application.

Ehhhhh you're right Jaikiran! Now I can debug my apps in debug mode. I even can't understand why I didn't succeed before

Thank you!!!

Sumit, you might want to ask your debugging question in a NetBeans forum. In the book, we do not cover any IDE for two reasons. First, the book is more about configuration than about development. Second, the IDEs are moving so fast that by the time a book would be published, no one would be using that version of the IDE any more. As an example, when we stared the book, Eclipse was a 3.1. And the Eclipse foundation just release 3.4.

Thanks Jaikiran and Peter

My problem is apparently solved for now and Debugging is working end to end

will do some more R&D on the same soon
