Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q4 SP5 Release Notes

Sun ONE Studio 5 Support

Sun Java System Web Server supports SunTM ONE Studio 5, Standard Edition. Sun ONE Studio technology is Sun's powerful, extensible, integrated development environment (IDE) for Java technology developers. Sun ONE Studio 5 is based on NetBeans software, and integrated with the Sun ONE platform. (Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 and above also supports NetBeans 3.5 and 3.5.1.)

Sun ONE Studio support is available on all platforms supported by Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5. The plug-in for the Web Server can be obtained in the following ways:

Please note that the Sun ONE Studio 5 plug-in for Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5 works only with a local Web Server (that is, with the IDE and the Web Server on the same machine).

The behavior of the Sun ONE Studio 5 plug-in for Sun Java System Web Server is the same as that for Sun ONE Application Server 7. For information about using the Web application features in Sun ONE Studio 5, see the following tutorial at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/learning/tutorials/cdshop.pdf.

Set the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5 instance as the default, and then take the same actions described in the tutorial.

Also see the following NetBeans training documents at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/index.html.

Using Sun ONE Studio 5 for Debugging

Sun ONE Studio 5 can be used for `remote debugging' if you want to manually attach the IDE to a remote Web Server started in debug mode. The steps are as follows:

  1. Using the Sun Java System Web Server Administration interface, restart the server instance in debug mode (Server Manager > JVM General > Debug Enabled).

  2. Note the JPDA port number.

  3. Start the IDE.

  4. Choose Debug > Start.

  5. Select the dt_socket method, and then enter the remote machine name and the JPDA port number. At that moment, any breakpoint created in the IDE on servlet source code of a deployed application will be active.
