Debugging WebLogic with an Integrated Debugger
When all else fails, there's really nothing better for tracking down problems inside Java code than an integrated debugger. Just about every commercial and freeware IDE available has some sort of debugging capability. These tools enable you to attach a debugger to a running Java process, and by setting breakpoints at certain places in the code, make it possible for you to step through the execution flow line by line and examine the values of variables along the way.
NOTE
WebLogic 8.1 comes with its own IDE, called WebLogic Workshop. It contains many advanced debugging features. Workshop is covered in greater detail in Appendix C, “Using WebLogic Workshop 8.1 with WebLogic Server.”
