Advanced Enterprise Debugging Techniques
TS-4588

It's an interesting dilemma: we have the best tools for software development ever, yet developers are still debugging enterprise applications by using ystem.out.println()! This session discusses techniques and tools for debugging enterprise applications. It shows how to perform remote debugging through all the major IDEs, either on the same machine or across a network. It also shows how to debug by using the command-line jdb debugger (the only one guaranteed to always be available). The session shows how to debug web, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), and lightweight enterprise applications. It discusses class loaders, interactive enterprise debugging with Groovy, and how to automate repetitive tasks by using JWebUnit and Selenium, making the computer do work for you instead of vice versa (how many times do you have to walk multiple pages into a web application to get to the point where you can debug it?). The session also shows you how to automate these and other common debugging tasks. The goal is to make hunting for and eliminating bugs in complex applications much easier.
