Debugging remote applications using Eclipse

[Rumi Harry]

Hello,
I am trying to debug a Java application which is currently running on Weblogic remotely on a UNIX box.Which is the best way to debug the application using Eclipse?I don't access to the logs either.Neither do I have access to the command line prompt to look at debug statements.Not sure what is to be done.

Please advise.

Thanks

You need to go the the WebLogic forum and ask them about how to run WebLogic with Remote Debugging turned on.

Remote Debugging is a basic ability of any Java program to open up a network port for a debugger to use. You can usually pick any port number you want as long as no other application on the target machine is using it.

Once WebLogic has been started with Remote Debugging, create a Java Debug using the Remote Debugging category on the Run/Debug Configurations... dialog and start it. The debugger will then connect to WebLogic (assuming no firewall gets in the way). You can set the breakpoints, etc. just like you would doing local debugging.
