debugging

[elwis]

I'm not yet that comfortable with either JBossESB or eclipse. I would find it very helpful if I could be able to step through my flows in a debugger but I cant find any good howto set that up?

I tried the way he does it in the old helloworld.swf, that is start the server in debugmode from eclipse and put a breakpoint where you find it suitable. It works in his movie but when I put a message in the flow no breakpoint is hit.

Are you using the ESB server? If so, all you really need to do is to edit bin/run.conf and uncomment the line :

#JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n"

If you want the server to stop before you attach with the debugger, change suspend=n to suspend=y.

Then, inside Eclipse, set your breakpoint and choose "Run"->"Debug Configurations" or "Debug.." (depending on your version of Eclipse. Choose "Remote Java Application" and use 8787 as the port.

Here's an article that spells things out :
