In addition to the sophisticated WD debugging feature, there is also a tool available for debugging contexts. In the WD perspective, there is a specialized debug view available that displays WD context structures on a logical level rather than showing all implementation-internal details as they exist in the Variables view of the standard WD debugging feature.

The following features are included:

  • Browsing of context structures to explore nodes, node elements and attributes

  • On-the-fly changing an attribute value (type string or primitive)

  • Providing additional properties of nodes and attributes (within generic Propertiesview)

  • Navigating from a selected context object in the debugger to its designtime source in the context editor

  • Differentiating between singleton false or true

  • Asynchronous processing

Prerequisites

  • All needed breakpoints are defined in the controller file.

  • You have knowledge about the WD debugging (non-context-debugging feature).

Procedure

  1. Start the debugging process as usual.

  2. In addition to the Variants view, you need the Context Debugging view. Launch the tool via   Window   Show View   Other   Web Dynpro   Context Debugging  .

  3. You can use the Context Debugger as soon as a breakpoint in a controller implementation is hit.
