Weblogic workshop denugger proxy

Question

Hi,
Whenever I started debugging a web app, I got the following warning message:
The debugger proxy is not running on the same machine as your Weblogic Server. You will not be able to hit breakpoints. You will need to restart your server to debug.
Restarting server dis not eliminate this message.
Thanks,

In WLW 8.1, to debug the server you need to be running the debugger proxy, which is a separate process on the same machine as your server. The default startup scripts will start and stop the proxy automatically for you, but if the user has created a custom startWebLogic.cmd/sh, it may not be running. In startWebLogic.cmd, there should be a line that looks something like:
start "WebLogic Workshop Debugger..." /B %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -classpath %DEBUG_CLASSPATH% %DBG_JAVA_OPTIONS% weblogic.debugging.engine.DbgMain
Take a look at the startWebLogic scripts that come with the domain for SamplesApp for more detail.
If the proxy is not running, you can debug the server as a "Non Workshop Server", but you lose some features like the ability to debug server-side JavaScript and seeing the output stream as it is being written back to the client when debugging JSPs.
