Remote debugging when WSO2 product run as a windows service

• WSO2 Carbon and any Carbon-based product can be run as a Windows service. But sometimes we need to debug remotely to identify the issues. To that, you can follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to the <YAJSW_HOME>/bat directory.
2. Stop the service running the stopService.bat file.
3. Open the wrapper.conf file which is in <YAJSW_HOME>/conf/ directory.
4. Add the following lines to the end of the wrapper.conf file and save it.

wrapper.java.additional.30 = -Xdebug
wrapper.java.additional.31 = -Xnoagent
wrapper.java.additional.32 = -Djava.compiler=NONE
wrapper.java.additional.33 = -Xrunjdwp:transport=”dt_socket\,server=y\,suspend=y\,address=5005"

• 5005 is the port that is using when debugging.

5. Then go to the <YAJSW_HOME>/bat directory.

6. Uninstall the service running uninstallService.bat file.

7. Then install the service again running the installService.bat file.

8. And run the startService.bat file to start the server.

• Then you can give the Ip address and the port in the debug configuration of your IDE and start the debugging.
