Debugging WebLogic
Debugging WebLogic is no different than debugging any other Java remote application. You need to make sure to launch it with the required debugging arguments and attach a debugger. In the case of WebLogic 8.1, you need to add these arguments to the startup script. WebLogic comes with several launch scripts (*.sh and *.cmd) under BEA_HOME/weblogic81/server/bin.
1. Locate startWSL.cmd and add the following variable DEBUG_OPTS:
set DEBUG_OPTS = -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport= dt_socket,address=1044,server=y,suspend=n
2. Next, insert the new variable to the WebLogic startup command, after "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" and preferably before the other options.
3. Your startup script should look like:
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %DEBUG_OPTS% %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS%-Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username= %WLS_USER%-Dweblogic.management.password= %WLS_PW% -Dweblogic.management.server= %ADMIN_URL%-Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled= %PRODUCTION_MODE%-Djava.security.policy= "%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy" weblogic.Server
