How to debug a Java Service.?

Please read my previous blog on Java Service Implementation to understand basics.

After you have implemented Java Service successfully and execute it. It's a full service execution. 

We can't debug it like flow service.

Don't worry, there is a way to debug custom Java Service.

• Right click on the “addTwoString” java service and click on the generated code option.
• After clicking the “Generate Code” option, a window will appear, prompting you to select the option for generating the code. 

• After clicking the “Finish” button, a .java file will be generated with the name of your service. This file will be used for debugging purposes..

        Note: Specify server, username, password based on your environment.

Finally, put a break point in "addTwoString".

That's it.

Now, debug the auto generated code. Right click> Debug as > Java Application

It will prompt you to enter UserName, Password. Once you have entered those values. This will initiate debugging ..

Enter StrA, StrB values..as per your logic

It will open in Debug perspective, check run-time pipeline values. 

Use traverse button - Step into, Step over, Terminate, Resume and check the flow, run-time values on right side.

Auto-generated service is located in WorkSpace>package>src, check below screenshot.

Note: This code is not required for PROD move.
