Hi,
I am new to myeclipse. application I need help to setup the weblogic application server8.1 to myeclipse on my local machine. Is there any site, where I would read the steps to debug J2ee application (basically ear file has web and ejb components)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can have a look at our Web Projects documentation to get started, our J2EE project documentation isn’t done just yet: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/webprojects/#deploy_testing_debug

The debugging process will be very similar.

Riyad,
Thanks for providing the valuable information.
I could able to set up the weblogic connector (8.1) with myeclipse. Deployed my application successfully. Application is running on weblogic
server.

I am having issue with debugging my code using eclipse debugger (debug as run-time Workbench).
I am doing following steps. Please let me what I am doing wrong, or what should I do to step thru my code using the debugger.

1- right_click on project
2- selected debug.
3- Another dialogue box popped up.
4- Clicked the debug button.
5- eclipse runtime-workbench pops up.

After that I am not sure , how should I step thru my code. On the runtime-workbench I do not see my source code.

eclipse version 3.0.1
myeclipse 3.8.2
weblogic 8.1 SP1

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you trying to debug a web application or a Java application or an Eclipse plugin?

If you are trying to debug a Web Application, please take a look at how it is done in the Quick Start guide I linked to above, you launch your application server and then use your browser to start excercising the app in the appropriate way to hit break points, you don’t setup an execution target like a normal Java application.

I am trying to debug j2ee application which has j2ee components(jsp,servlet,jms, ejbs and etc…).

Thanks.

[Riyad Kalla]

Ok then have a look at the “debugging” section of the guide i linked to above.

[sparija04]

I looked the link and at section 7.3 the debugging instructions are specific to jsp(specific to Web Application). Is there any other link, which can have examples on debugging ejb, Servlets and/or utility classes?

[Riyad Kalla]

Debugging EJB/Servlets/Classes works exactly the same, except instead of setting breakpoints in your JSP pages, you would be setting breakpoints in your EJBs/Servlets/Utility classes… when you use your browser to hit a portion of the site that triggers the EJB or Servlet or utility class, Eclipse will detect this and stop at that breakpoint, this is straight Eclipse debugging in that case.

[sparija04]

Thanks for the information.
My issue is here that I am not able to view source code after clicking the debug option. Due to which I am unable to set break points.

After clicking the debug option, a run-time workbench pops up. In run-time Workbench I am unable to view the application source code. Any thing am I missing in my project configuration?

I don’t think you gave that guide a close enough read or what I typed above about debugging J2EE applications… you simply do the following steps:

1) Deploy application
2) Run application Server
3) Setup break points
4) open browser and use application

You *do not* debug a Workbench application… please just take a look at the screenshots from that doc… you just use the dropdown buttons in your toolbar to deploy your app and start the application server, after that you simply use your browser to excercise the app (loading pages, etc.) and from the source editor in Eclipse, you set breakpoints.

I am trying to deploy a J2EE application under Weblogic8.1. What are the steps involved in deploying an application(J2EE) ? I am using the following:
MyEclipse 3.8.2
Weblogic 8.1
Eclipse 3.0.1

Hi Riyad,
As per your direction, I deployed the application, restarted the application server(weblogic). Set up the break points in control servlet and dao. Launched the login on browser and started navigating to different pages on my web application. I do not see the control is coming back to source code(control servlet, which it is supposed to if my setup is correct). It seems to me step-over/step-in is diabled.

Do you think application server connector setup is not right? Any idea what could i have missed or configured wrong?

Thanks for all your support.

[Riyad Kalla]

Do you think application server connector setup is not right? Any idea what could i have missed or configured wrong?

It could be, if you navigate to your WebLogic Launch connector settings (Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Application Server > WebLogic 8 > Launch) is it set to “Debug mode”? Also under the JDK settings have you configured WebLogic to run using a 1.4+ JDK and are you using that same JDK to run Eclipse?

[Riyad Kalla]

albridgeone,
You need to configure your application server connector (Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Application Server > WebLogic 8) then you need to deploy your application (right click on project root node > MyEclipse > Add and Remove Project Deployments) and then you need to start the application server (use the dropdown in your toolbar that is next to the deployment button).

You can read the Quick Start doc I linked to in this thread to get you started, its the same process for any kind of app.

[sparija04]

I checked the Weblogic Launch Connector settings. It is set as debug(Window->Preference->MyEclipse->Application Server->Weblogic8->Launch->Debug).
Weblogic is configured as JDK1.41_03 and the same jdk is being configured to run eclipse.
