Running and Debugging

The BEA Workshop Studio group of products allow you to do iterative testing and both local and remote debugging on most application servers, including BEA WebLogic Server, Tomcat, JBoss and WebSphere. Click here to see the list of supported servers.

Supported on all servers:

• Define server launch configurations to manage application deployment.
• Easy server management with WTP tools in Servers view including easy stop/restart, simplified project deployment and server management.
• Local and remote debugging
• Extended debugger supports JSP debugging
• Manual deployment (except Tomcat)
• Hot deployment of JSPs (all servers); hot deployment of other artifacts like Struts action (except WebSphere and Jetty):

  If you update a JSP, changes are automatically published to the server and you can simply click the Refresh button to see them running live on the server. Other changes are automatically deployed and the application is restarted as necessary.
