31.1 OverviewTesting and debugging portlets are tasks that involve running portlets on a server, either on the test environment server within the workbench (local), or on a separate portal server (remote). A WebSphere Portal Server Attach is a server type that allows Rational Application Developer tool to attach to a remote WebSphere Portal Server already started, so that you can run and debug a portlet application running on a remote WebSphere Portal system accessible through a network connection. The sample development workstation and the remote Portal server are illustrated in Figure 31-1.
