Determining possible WebSphere Application Server V4.0 plug-in problems
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
A simple process to determine whether any particular problem is associated with the Web server or WebSphere® Application Server V4.0 plug-in is given..
 
Solution
Sometimes it is a useful process to see if a particular WebSphere Application Server error occurs when specifically avoiding the WebSphere Application Server Web server plug-in.

To bypass the plug-in, access the WebSphere Application Server component from port 9080.

For example:
http://localhost:9080/servlet/snoop

where 9080 is the internal WebSphere Application Server.

If the problem goes away on 9080, then the problem is either the Web server or is plug-in specific.

In that event, it is often necessary to trace the plug-in. To run a WebSphere Application Server V4.0 plug-in trace in more detail, change the LogLevel variable to Trace in the plugin-cfg.xml file under install_root\config.

The output file name is also specified on this line. The default plug-in trace file is native.log:

Log LogLevel="Trace" Name="C:\WebSphere\AppServer/logs\native.log"/>

Note: Regenerating the plug-in sets the LogLevel back to Error.
