Debugging Java EE Applications

On AS Java you can debug applications on the fly. Using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, you connect to the remote AS Java system, configure the system, and debug the application.

During the debugging, the performance of AS Java deteriorates. It is therefore good practice to restore the productive server state after finishing with remote debugging.

Prerequisites

The Java EE application is available in the form of a set of Java EE projects in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
How to create a sample set of Java EE projects is shown in our Java EE tutorial.

For more information, see Developing Your First Java EE 5 Application.
The AS Java connection settings are configured in the Developer Studio
For more information, see Configuring the Application Server in the Developer Studio.
The application is deployed on AS Java
For more information, see Deploying Applications.

Procedure

Configure the AS Java system for debugging.
For more information, see Configuring AS Java for Debugging.
Create a debug configuration.
For more information, see Creating Debug Configurations in the Developer Studio.
Debug the application source code.
Stop remote debugging and restore the productive state of the system.
For more information, see Stopping Remote Debugging.
