Evaluating expressions in the integration debugger
If you are debugging a business process in the integration debugger and execution suspends at a breakpoint in a Java™ snippet, you can evaluate expressions in the context of a stack frame.
Expressions can be entered and evaluated in the following areas:
- Detail pane of the Expressions view
- Java editor when it is displaying source and it is not read-only
To evaluate expressions:
Procedure
- Select the stack frame in which an evaluation is to be performed. For the detail pane of the Expressions view, the evaluation context will be a selected variable. If no variable is selected, the selected stack frame will be the context.
- Select the expression to be evaluated and select Display, Inspect or Execute from the context menu. The result of a Display or Inspect evaluation is shown in the Expressions view. If that Execute does not display a result. The expression is just run.
Example
Evaluations cannot be performed in threads that have been manually suspended.
