Testing and debugging portlets
You can test or debug a portlet on a local portal test environment server or a remote server on which Portal V6.0, or later, is installed.
Debugging tools allow you to set breakpoints and step through the code to diagnose problems.
To test or debug a portlet project:
- Configure a WebSphere® Portal server connection.
- Choose one of these actions:
To publish or deploy a portlet project to a remote portal server, see Publishing portlets.
- Testing portlets on local servers
You can test one or more portlet projects locally using a WebSphere Portal test environment.- Testing portlets on remote servers
You can test one or more portlet projects using a remote WebSphere Portal server. For WebSphere Portal V6.0, or higher projects, you can configure a connection to a WebSphere Portal V6.0, or later server.- Debugging portlets on local servers
- Debugging portlets on remote servers
- Testing and deploying portlets that reference J2EE modules
When portlets contain references to other J2EE modules, such as enterprise beans or utility JAR files, there are special considerations for testing and deploying the portlets to remote WebSphere Portal servers.- Referring to other projects
