When you are debugging a Web object that makes an Object Request
Broker (ORB) call to a remote WebSphere® Application Server, you
are prompted with the Attach to New Server dialog
box when program execution reaches the point at which the request is made.
The dialog box indicates the host name on which the requested
application server is running. To skip the request, select the Skip radio
button and click OK. To debug the request, do the
following:
- Select the Attach radio button.
- Enter the application server JVM debug port number in the JVM
debug port field. When you install a WebSphere Application Server, the
value of this port defaults to 7777. Enter this value if you have not changed
this default value.
- If the request contains JavaScriptâ„¢ that was developed in the
Bean Scripting Framework, select the Enable JavaScript debugging check
box and then enter the Bean Scripting Framework debug port in the BSF
Debug Port field. When you install a WebSphere Application Server, the
value of this port defaults to 4444. Enter this value if you have not changed
this default value.
If the Enable JavaScript debugging check
box is not selected, JavaScript debugging will not be enabled
and the BSF Debug Port field will be unavailable.
- To attach to the application server and debug the request, click
OK.
Note: You cannot debug a request unless step-by-step debugging is
enabled or you have set a breakpoint in the application that is being called.
For information about step-by-step debug mode, see the related topics.
If
you choose to attach to the new server, the debugger will connect to the server
and it will be displayed in the Debug view as a second
process under debug control. After you have finished debugging the request,
disconnect from it by completing these steps:
- In the Debug view, select the server process.
- Perform one of the following tasks:
- Click the Disconnect push button (
).
- Right-click and choose Disconnect from the pop-up
menu.
