[jBoss-User] Debugging apps with JBuilder in JBoss howto...

[Peter Henderson]

Hi all   Someone asked how to debug their ejbs inside JBuilder 4. Here is how i do this.. Currently im using JBoss 2.0 final.     1) Project Properties. (Project properties/paths) Set the Working dir to  the jboss bin dir. e.g. C:/jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/bin   2) set VM parameters. (Project properties/run) -classic -Dtomcat.home=C:\jboss_tomcat\tomcat-3.2-b7  -Duser.dir=C:\jboss_tomcat\jboss-2.0-FINAL/bin   2.1) Set Main class to org.jboss.Main     3) Create a JBoss Sever Library. (Project properties/required libs) add to this. /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/bin/run.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/bin /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/conf /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/jaas.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/jboss-jaas.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/jmxri.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/xml.jar /jboss_tomcat/tomcat-3.2-b7/lib/servlet.jar /jboss_tomcat/tomcat-3.2-b7/lib/jaxp.jar /jboss_tomcat/tomcat-3.2-b7/lib/webserver.jar /jboss_tomcat/tomcat-3.2-b7/lib/parser.jar /jboss_tomcat/tomcat-3.2-b7/lib/jasper.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/activation.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/awt.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/dynaserver.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/ejb.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/ejxeditor.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/ejxejb.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/ejxjaws.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/ejxjboss.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/hsql.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/idb.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jboss.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jetty-service.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jms.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jmxtools.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jndi.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jnpserver.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jpl-util-0_5b.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/jta-spec1_0_1.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/mail.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/spydermq.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/lib/ext/tomcat-service.jar /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/db /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/log /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/conf/tomcat Also the source dir for jboss sources should be set to /jboss_tomcat/jboss-2.0-FINAL/src     4) add this library to your project.. 5) rebuild all. 6) deploy you app. (copy your jar to the jboss/deploy dir) 7) If all is well, you should be able to set break points etc and single step your code.     Notes... I dont include the sun j2ee sdk jars in my project.       If I have missed out anything, do tell me ;-)     Peter Henderson.
