How to start WAS liberty profile server in remote debug mode.

Question

I need to start my liberty profile in remote debug mode. Want to know if that is possible? If yes need pointers on how to achieve that.

Answer 1

server debug [servername]

This will start the server in the foreground in debug mode. You can then connect a debugger to the debug port (default: 7777). There're more details on the options for the server command in the Knowledge Centre.

Alternatively, if you're using WebSphere Developer Tools for Eclipse, you can right-click on the server in the servers view and select Debug which will start the server in debug mode and attach the eclipse debugger.
