Using a Debugger
The Application Server supports the Java Platform Debugger Architecture
(JPDA). With JPDA, you can configure the Application Server to communicate
debugging information via a socket. In order to debug an application using a
debugger:
    1. Enable debugging in the Application Server using the Admin Console as
       follows:
       a. Select the Application Server node.
       b. Select the JVM Settings tab. The default debug options are set to:
       -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,
           suspend=n,address=1044
       As you can see, the default debugger socket port is 1044. You can change
       it to a port not in use by the Application Server or another service.
       c. Check the Enabled box of the Debug field.
       d. Click the Save button.
    2. Stop the Application Server and then restart it.
    3. Compile your Java source with the -g flag.
    4. Package and deploy your application.
    5. Start a debugger and connect to the debugger socket at the port you set
       when you enabled debugging.
