Hi,

Based on information received in a previous post, I was under the impression that release 8.5 was to include a full blown one-click debug connector for Sun Java System Web Server.

MyEclipse 8.5M2 included the remote debugging feature but the full debugger should have been included in the next release and as I cannot get it working, I wanted to check if perhaps I am missing a step in the app server configuration within MyEclipse.

Thanks
David

David,

The one click debugging support actually missed 8.5, but is part of 8.6M1 which is due in the next few days. So no, you are not missing anything. Do give 8.6M1 a look when it is released.
Appreciate your patience in working with us on this server.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I’ll grab8.6M1 when it becomes available.

It would be useful to know this information in advance though as every release requires me to go through each of the steps below before I can test whether or not the feature has been added.

1. Almost a Gigabyte worth of download time
2. Full install of MyEclipse
3. Web server confguration
4. Web App deployment

David,

You can download ME 8.6 M1 from http://myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-4.html

Best.

Hi Joy,

I have downloaded and installed ME 8.6 M1 and have deployed my web application using Sun Java System Web Server. When I make a request to the web application everything works fine but if I enter a breakpoint in the code and then make a request to that piece of code, the debugger does not kick in. Instead the browser just waits. The request does not hit the web server http access log file and I can see no error is the MyEclipse log file? As soon as I remove the breakpoint all requests to that piece of code work as normal again. So it appears to me that the degbugger does not work yet?

Maybe I’m missing something obvious in my setup but my web application wouldn’t work at all if this was the case?
Is there some other configuration that I must do in order to switch on the debugger?
Do you know if the one click degbugger for Sun Java System Web Server has been tested in this release?

We’ve been waiting a long time for this feature and it was supposed to be included in previous releases. It’s just a bit frustrating at this stage.

Thanks & regards
David

Just one addition to this: When I start up the web server from within the IDE, I am launching it in debug mode.

David,

The fact that you don’t see anything in the browser seems to indicate that the breakpoint is being hit but perhaps for some reason the automatic switch to the debugger perspective is not happening. When this happens, can you manually switch to the debugger perspective and see if it is indeed waiting at a breakpoint? Also – is this a Java breakpoint or a JSP breakpoint?

The one click debugger support was certainly tested (and actually fixed) as part of the 8.6M1 release. Can you also please tell us what configuration options you have set in the preference page? Either type out the value for each field here or send an email with it to support@genuitec.com ATTN Brian with a link to this thread.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope it is just a missing perspective switch at this point, which we are going to look into asap.
