WebSphere 8.5 Debug mode
Answered
Hello,
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to run my local instance of WebSphere in debug mode from IntelliJ.
I have the same setup in Eclipse and I have no problems with it.
Starting the server (w/o debug mode) works just fine, but the debug mode gives me the following error:

This is my current setup in IntelliJ for the debug mode:
And this is the debug service setup in WebSphere console:
I have read many posts and tried different things, I am honestly getting a bit frustrated since in Eclipse this is a breeze.
Hopefully, somebody can shed some light on this.
Thank you,

Does it work with the default startup/shutdown scripts?
Hey Serge,
I just tried and I get the following error:
Try to disable the debugger in the WebSphere configuration, IntelliJ IDEA supplies debug options via the command line.
Thank you, Serge!
That worked! I should've tried that in the first place, however, I thought it was necessary to have the debugger running.
It might be useful to put it in one of the guides as a side note.
Thanks again,
Andrea
Can you please explain the above solution works for you or not ? After updating IBM web sphere configuration DEBUG flag as off and RUN Intellij Idea in debug mode it is not working. Giving same error show in above screenshot (Error ; JDWP agent alread ...)
Kindly guide me steps it I am missing anything, if possible please share screenshots .

I have been able to get my server up and running in debug mode however it seems that breakpoints are not being hit. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
How do the breakpoints look like in the editor when debugger is connected to the server? Do they have the checkmarks? If not, it means that there is no executable code found in this JVM on the specified lines. It can happen if you are no deploying the same code as you have in the editor to the server.
They do not have checks, but I'm not sure what code would be being deployed if its not the same as what is in the editor.
If not sure, please contact support via https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/requests/new and attach a small sample project to reproduce the issue.
I would check the artifact output directory and ensure that it contains the up to date classes that you want to debug: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/artifacts.html.
Unfortunately I am not able to provide any code samples as it is privately owned.
I have added artifacts in the form of JAR files, however I am getting a warning that says no artifacts are configured.
You need WAR or EAR artifacts from the Java module with the Web facet to deploy them on the app servers: https://mkyong.com/intellij/intellij-idea-run-debug-web-application-on-tomcat/ .
