Preparing a server for EGL Web debugging

To debug EGL Web programs that run in the WebSphere® Application Server, you must prepare the server for debugging. The preparation step must be done once per server and does not need to be done again, even if the Workbench is shut down.

To prepare a server for debugging, do as follows:

  1. If you are working with WebSphere v5.1 Test Environment, make sure that the server is stopped. If you are working with WebSphere Application Server v6.0, make sure that the server is running. The explanation for this difference is that the v6.0 code is a functioning server.
  2. In the Server view, right-click on the server. A context menu displays.
  3. Select Enable/Disable EGL Debugging. A message indicates that you have enabled EGL debugging.
  4. If you want to debug the generated Java™ instead of EGL, right-click on the server again and select Enable/Disable EGL Debugging. A message indicates that you have disabled EGL debugging.
