Debugging CAF Applications Remotely
While writing and testing your code, you can remotely debug Composite Application Framework applications on a remote instance of My webMethods Server. To use the Software AG Designer built-in Java debugging features, you must run My webMethods Server in debug mode.
You can start the server in debug mode from the command line using the option -d. For more information about working with the server commands and starting the server in debug mode, see Administering My webMethods Server.
To set general debug preferences in Designer, select Window > Preferences > Run/Debug. For more information, see the Eclipse Java development user guide available in the Software AG Designer online help.
