Developers often need to debug their code in order to find and fix errors. Spring Boot applications can be debugged in a number of ways, including using a remote debugger. In this article, we will explore how to debug Spring Boot applications using a remote debugger.
Remote debugging is a process that allows a developer to debug a program that is running on a remote machine. In order to do this, the developer needs to have access to the remote machine and be able to connect to it using a debugger.
There are a few steps that need to be followed in order to debug a Spring Boot application using a remote debugger. We will go through each of these steps in detail.
The first step is to make sure that the Spring Boot application is running in debug mode. This can be done by adding the following line to the application.properties file:
spring.boot.devtools.remote.debug=true
The next step is to start the remote debugger. This can be done by running the following command:
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=8000,suspend=n -jar myapp.jar
Replace myapp.jar with the name of your Spring Boot application.
The final step is to connect to the remote debugger. This can be done using a debugger such as Eclipse or IntelliJ. In Eclipse, go to the Debug perspective and select Remote Java Application. In the Connect tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application. In the Connect tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application. In the Connect tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application. In the Connect tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application. In the Connect tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application.
In IntelliJ, go to Run > Edit Configurations. In the Remote tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application. In the Connect tab, select the project that contains the Spring Boot application.
