Developer Guide to the BPEL Designer

ProcedureTo set a breakpoint in a BPEL process:

  1. In the IDE, open the BPEL file in either the Source or Design view.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • In the Source view, click the left margin of the row where you want to place a breakpoint.

    • In the Design view, right-click an element where you want to place a breakpoint and choose Toggle Breakpoint (Ctrl-F8).

      In the Design view, breakpoints are displayed as small red squares on top of specific elements. In the Source view, breakpoints are shown as red squares on the left margins of code lines.

      Alternatively, you can set and remove breakpoints in the BPEL Logical view of the Navigator window by choosing Toggle Breakpoint from the pop-up menu. In the Navigator window breakpoints are shown as small red squares attached to elements.

      Once the project has reached the breakpoint it is suspended. You can manage the subsequent execution using the commands available in the Run menu or as buttons on the toolbar.
