Remote Debugging with Eclipse

ghernando — Wed, 17 May 2006 07:19:17 GMT

What must I set in the development environment to enable remote debugging of the server code in Eclipse?Thanks!

Hey there,

To configure Eclipse to debug alfresco you need to do the following:

Assumption: You're using Tomcat to run Alfresco.

In Eclipse click on Run -> Debug

Under Java Application add a New Configuration and call it Tomcat or something.

Main Tab:
Under Main class put org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

Arguments Tab:
Under Program arguments put start
Under VM arguments put

-Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=PATH_TO_TOMCAT/conf/jaas.config
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=PATH_TO_TOMCAT/common/endorsed
-Dcatalina.base=PATH_TO_TOMCAT
-Dcatalina.home=PATH_TO_TOMCAT‍‍‍‍‍

Make sure to replace PATH_TO_TOMCAT with the full path to your tomcat installation
Under Working directory choose Other and put the path to your tomcat installation

Classpath Tab:
Under Classpath delete everything under User Entries and click on Add External JARs then browse to your tomcat/bin folder and choose bootstrap.jar
Also click on Add Projects and add the project you want to debug (e.g. repository, or your extension project)

Source Tab:
Under Source Lookup Path click on Add -> Java Project and add the project(s) you're trying to debug

Click Apply then Debug and you should be good to go.

Please note that these steps are how I work and are by no means the exact steps to configure all development environments.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Thx for this post its very helpful !

I have just a question, it seems that when i run tomcat with eclipse, alfresco dont read config files in extension directory !
But if run tomcat in standalone its working well i have my extension working.

Have you same problem ?

Thx in advance

Hi,

I'm not facing this issue. I have extensions in <TOMCAT_HOME>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension and everything in there is being picked up by Alfresco.

Is that where you placed your extensions?

You could also package your extensions inside a JAR file and deploy that in the WEB-INF/lib folder inside alfresco.war. An example on how to do that is illustrated in the samples that come with the Alfresco SDK.

Hope this helps.

Hi RivetLogic,

By any chance do you have similar steps for JBoss.

Thanks!

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

rivetlogic — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 09:57:57 GMT

Hi,

For JBoss your best bet would be to download the JBoss IDE Eclipse plugin:

http://docs.jboss.com/jbosside/install/build/en/html/installation.html

Then follow these instructions to add your appserver and the source you want to debug:

http://docs.jboss.com/jbosside/tutorial/build/en/html/jboss.config.html

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have experienced problems when debugging Alfresco with your configurations.
All spaces with some accents (ÃƒÂ©, ÃƒÂ¨, ÃƒÂ , …) in their name are unaccessible in CIFS (although still accessible in web UI).

Remove the following VM argument from your launch configuration for correct behaviour (at least on Windows XP).

-Dfile.encoding=UTF8 ‍

Hi,

I am not sure if this is what you want, but maybe it will give you some insights.

I myself have an standalone deployment of alfresco upon a tomcat server (the default you can download).

When I create/modify java files I package these with ant and deploy them to the server.

To debug this, I have added the following arguments to my alfresco startup file (either your alf_start.bat or alfresco.sh)

JAVA_OPTS='-Xms128m -Xmx512m -server -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044'

This ensures that you will be able to remotely suspend/debug the tomcat instance.

As client in my debugging, I use Eclipse. I have imported all projects from the repository so that I can see in all detail possible what is going on side by side with the code.

To enable debugging remotely in Eclipse you should do the following:

1. in the menu -> run -> open debug dialog.
2. click om "remote java application".
3. create a new entry here.
4. selecteer als project "web-client"
5. server = localhost
6. port 1044

Now you can start debugging from withing Eclipse upon your remote Alfresco installation.

Marc

kwantm — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 10:08:25 GMT

in addition to remotely debugging the virtual tomcat, you can ad the same JAVA_OPT param to the virtual_alf.sh.
Dont forget to alter the portnumber otherwise it will conflict with your other debug setting.

Kind regards,

Hello
I tried to follow the setup steps to run Alfresco/Tomcat from Eclipse, as in the post by RivetLogic …
However, I get the following error - any ideas what went wrong? I am really looking forward to making this work 🙂

I get the same exact error! Any word on how to address it?

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

rivetlogic — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:07:30 GMT

Hi,

It seems you're missing the jar that contains org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException.

Try adding it to the classpath.

Hope this helps,

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

rivetlogic — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:51:47 GMT

HI,

Debugging Alfresco code using the technique explained by Marc above is actually a lot easier unless you want to run Tomcat inside of Eclipse. If for some reason you need to run Tomcat inside Eclipse there's a better way to do that now with Europa and Ganymede.

You basically do it using the Servers view (Window > Show View > Servers) and create a new Tomcat server. Go through the configuration and modify it appropriately. Don't forget to set the timeouts to a large enough value so your server doesn't terminate itself while it's in the middle of starting up.

In the server configuration page there's a link titled "Open launch configuration". This will open a dialog where you would need to click on the Source tab and add the project(s) containing the source code you need to debug.

Hope this helps,

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

I tried the remoting style debugging. But, I get a console with: Tue Dec 05 00:00:00 GMT 2000 and it stops. In Eclipse my breakpoints do not work.

Thanks.

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

rivetlogic — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:51:15 GMT

It is possible that Tomcat did not pick up your JAVA_OPTS.

Make sure the following JAVA_OPTS are picked up by Tomcat:


-server -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044'
‍‍‍

Note: you can change the port (1044) to any number as long as the remote debugging config and JAVA_OPTS point to the same port

To verify that they were picked up your catalina logs should contain the following line:


Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 1044
‍‍‍

If that part is working, then you have to make sure that you added the appropriate eclipse project to your remote debugger in order for your breakpoints to work.

Cheers,

–Alaaeldin

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

libman — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:01:37 GMT

With Java_Opts added I get in Eclipse (Debug's VM arguments) the following window error:


Error: no 'server' JVM at 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.60_07\bin\server\jvm.dll
‍‍‍

And in tomcat logs, I didn't find any "dt_socket" string.

Thanks

Re: Remote Debugging with Eclipse

vijay_alfresco — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:44:58 GMT

You may also add following line to your alfresco.sh and start the server
export JAVA_OPTS='-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=4000,server=y,suspend=y'

The server listens at port 4000.

Now, in eclipse Run –> Debug Configurations –> Remote Java Application –> Rt click and click New and name it
Project – Browse and select the project, Connection Type – Standard (Socket Attach) as it is,
in Host – give the hostname of your alfresco server and port as 4000 and click on debug.

Note: If your alfresco server is on Unix and behind proxy, then you have to configure your putty tunnel with host:4000 and port and
in eclipse debug configuration just type localhost (because after SSH tunnel, your putty acts as server, remember to start putty as well)

I am debugging remote alfresco which is on Unix, tomcat behind firewall and i use SSH tunnel in putty and debug the application from eclipse,
also, please remember that the jars in alfresco…/lib should be same as from your source you are trying to debug.

If interested i can post SSH tunnelling…in next post.

Thanks,
Vijay

This seems exactly like what I need. But I'm unable to make the server start with Alfresco.

Maybe I'm missing something, as the UI in Eclipse has changed a bit since you wrote your message. For instance I can't see any server configuration page during the server creation process. I added the source using Debug configuration(s), but the server starts 'empty', i.e. without starting also Alfresco. (No error message.)
Am I supposed to add JAVA_OPTS somewhere?

I have to admit I'm not quite sure I understand how remote debugging of Alfresco is supposed to work, or what are its limitations when compared to running Alfresco from within Eclipse. (Is it possible to restart the app when debugging remotely?)
I want to run Alfresco in Eclipse to create+debug GWT components.
