Running and Debugging Applications

The Workshop family of products supports debugging (local and remote) and deployment on a variety of popular application servers, including WebLogic Server, Tomcat, JBoss and others.

Workshop supports deployment to the following versions of WebLogic Server:

WebLogic Server 8.1
WebLogic Server 9.0/9.1
WebLogic Server 9.2
WebLogic Server 10.x

The following application servers are also supported:

Tomcat
JBoss
IBM WebSphere
Caucho Resin
Mort Bay Jetty

The following tasks are supported on all servers:

Definition of server launch configurations to manage application deployment
Easy server management with the Servers view
Local and remote debugging
Extended debugger supports JSP debugging
Hot deployment of JSPs and other artifacts like Struts actions (except Jetty). If you update a JSP, the changes are automatically picked up by the server when you click the Refresh button. Other changes, like editing a Struts configuration file, require a restart of the web application. Workshop can automatically detect the change and deploy and restart the application as necessary.
