You can remote debug an AUT by simply modifying or creating a AUT configuration. The following options must be added to your JRE Arguments:
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=4711 -Djava.compiler=NONE
The ”suspend=y/n” option determines whether the JVM waits with the execution of the program until the debugger has connected itself or not.
The ”address=<portNo>” determines the port the debugger has to connect to.

Not all JREs support the arguments listed above. If you are not using a Java Standard Edition JRE to start your AUT, you will likely not be able to use this method to remotely debug your AUT. |
