Setting method breakpoints on the trace

You can set a method breakpoint on any debuggable server event. Debuggable events are represented on the trace by filled circles. You cannot set a method breakpoint on an application exception event, or an event that is waiting for its partner to arrive (these events are represented by an unfilled circled with an X through it).

To set a method breakpoint, follow these steps:

  1. On the trace, select the filled circle that represents the object method, servlet, EJB, or JSP that you want to debug.
  2. From the circle's pop-up menu, select Add to method breakpoint list.
  3. To view a list of your method breakpoints, select Breakpoints > List method breakpoints.

Alternatively, you can manually enter breakpoint information using the Create Method Breakpoints dialog box:

  1. Select Breakpoints > Create method breakpoints.
  2. Using the drop-down list, select from the list of possible method breakpoints.

When you have finished adding method breakpoints, follow the steps to run the debugger from OLT.
