Hi Tech Support,
Engineers,

Greetings! I cannot make my myeclipse and weblogic do
a JSP debug. I tried to read all the notes posted in
the website, but still it doesn’t work in my machine.

I can do a class debug btw, but the JSP debugging is not
working. Here’s my environment setup:

1) windows XP Pro version 2004 Service Pack 2
2) Eclipse Platform Version: 3.0.2 Build id:
200503110845
3) MyEclipse version 3.8.4
4) Weblogic 8.1 SP4
5) added this in my project’s weblogic.xml

<jsp-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</jsp-param>

6) I started myeclipse using this command line:

./eclipse -vm c:/j2sdk1.4.2_07/jre/bin/javaw
-Xmx=1024m

so my config is:

java.awt.graphicsenv=sun.awt.Win32GraphicsEnvironment
java.awt.printerjob=sun.awt.windows.WPrinterJob
java.class.path=c:\development
software\eclipse\startup.jar
java.class.version=48.0
java.endorsed.dirs=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\endorsed
java.ext.dirs=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\ext
java.home=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre
java.io.tmpdir=C:\DOCUME~1\alim\LOCALS~1\Temp\

java.library.path=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\bin;.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;c:\Perl\bin\;c:\oracle\ora92\bin;c:\orant\bin;c:\WINDOWS\system32;c:\WINDOWS;c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin;c:\Program

software\apache-ant-1.6.2\bin;c:\Program
Files\Vim\vim63;c:\Program Files\Common
Files\GTK\2.0\bin
java.runtime.name=Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment,
Standard Edition
java.runtime.version=1.4.2_07-b05
java.specification.name=Java Platform API
Specification
java.specification.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.

My weblogic startup script:

C:\DEVELO~1\bea\JROCKI~1\bin\java -jrockit -Xmx=512m
-Xms=256m -Xverify:none -Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Djava.compiler=NONE
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n
-Dweblogic.Name=myserver
-Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=false

-Djava.security.policy=”C:\DEVELO~1\bea\WEBLOG~1\server\lib\weblogic.policy”
weblogic.Server

QUESTION:
1) Do I need to start weblogic in Eclipse, to be able
to do the JSP Debug? (Because I’m currently starting
weblogic using startWeblogic.cmd, and I can do the
class debugging fine, using the 8787 port I specified.
)

my analysis:
I tried setting up the app server connector, and upon
setting up the WLS JDK Name doesn’t accept the
c:\jsdk1.xxx\jre, I specified.

According to the FAQ posted you have to specify the
JDK (c:\jsdkxxx). So I tried that too, and it told me that it cant
find the javaw.exe

2) Do I need to specify options like this in the JAVA
VM arguments of eclipse (in the
MyEclipse- Application Server- Weblogic 8- JDK)?
-jrocket -Xms256M -Xmx712M -Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Djava.compiler=NONE
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n
-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 -Xverify:none
I copied this from the startWeblogic.cmd, and I guess
it requires to open the 8787 port, right?

I also think, that myEclipse cannot find the compiled JSP classes, because it’s deployed in the different directory, (the source directory is diferent than the deployed directory in our case) and when you specify the project in the MyEclipse Debugger (MyEclipse Remote Debug Configuration ), I’m afraid it cannot find it.

Do I need to add the deployment directory in the source tab, of MyEclipse Remote Debugger?

Any tips on this setup is very much appreciated. Thank
you very much!

Beyonder,

You can either launch WebLogic from within MyEclipse OR launch it externally
and use our remote debugging facility. Please see the Documentation section
on the website for instructions on how to set up remote debugging
(http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.genuitec.myeclipse.doc/html/quickstarts/remotedebugging/index.html)

For configuring the server for launch within Eclipse see the example in the
FAQ here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/FAQ+index-myfaq-yes-id_cat-18.html

For the JDK, you simply need to point to the root of a full JDK installation
like: c:\j2sdk1.4.2, *not* to the internal jre subdirectory. And the other
thing people forget with weblogic is that you have to include a weblogic.xml
file in your WEB-INF directory to enable JSP debugging. It should look like
this:

<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC “-//BEA
Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 7.0//EN”
“http://www.bea.com/servers/wls700/dtd/weblogic700-web-jar.dtd”&gt;
<weblogic-web-app>
<description>WebLogic Descriptor</description>
<jsp-descriptor>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>

Dear Scott,

I got it working! Thanks! I originally used “Remote Java Application” (of debug window) of eclipse, so by switching it to “MyEclipse Externally Launched Server” it works fine.

So it has to be the MyEclipse debugger huh?

Thank you,
Beyonder

Beyonder,

So it has to be the MyEclipse debugger huh?

If it didn’t, we wouldn’t have written it. 🙂
