DEBUGGING deployed war from JDeveloper

Question

Hi,
I am running from JDeveloper Run->Debug Server Instance.
Now the only thing I want is to able to debug my deployed war.
Please note that I do not have any specific .java that contains Main.
So, cannot just right-click on a java and click on Debug.
I want to able to debug the WHOLE application, which is deployed as war.
This should be about Remote Debugging.
Note:
If you need to know, this is an applet application, but going to .html file and clicking on Debug,
does not work neither. Because in this case does not deploy any thing, just try to run the html.
And if I deploy the war before doing this, it gives me error that I already have the context-root.

Answer 1

What I understand is that you want to debug an applet. Applets do not execute within the application server. They are executed by the JVM of the local browser (e.g. by the browser's Java Plug-In) locally on the workstation. You should attach your debugger to this JVM instead of the application server's JVM. (You cannot debug an applet by right-clicking the Web application in JDeveloper and starting it in debug mode, because in this way you attach the debugger to the application server's JVM (e.g. to WebLogic's JVM) but not to the browser's JVM).
In order to debug an applet you should configure the browser's Java Plug-In to start in a debug mode and then you should attach a Java debugger to it. You can use either a standalone Java debugger or the debugger integrated in JDeveloper IDE. Have a look here for instructions:
