Domino Designer Server Side JavaScript Debugger
 New “Domino Designer Server Side JavaScript” Debug Configuration
● Debugging is only
supported on Domino
Social Edition servers and
later
● Debugger is based on
Eclipse “Remote Java
Connection” protocol and
uses JPDA/JDI

6. © 2013 IBM Corporation
Domino Designer Server Side JavaScript Debugger
 Debugger can be invoked from a
new toolbar item
 Breakpoints can be set directly within XPages' SSJS or within SSJS Script
Library
 New 'breakpoint' keyword has been added to the SSJS syntax to allow for
permanent breakpoints
─ Breakpoints are only enabled when the server is running in debug mode
 Sever must be configured to run in 'debug mode' in order for debugger to work
─ Note this implies that a port must be opened on the server, so it is not recommended to debug
servers that have unprotected access to the internet!
– JavaEnableDebug=1
– JavascriptEnableDebug=1
– JavaDebugOptions=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000

Debugging Server Side JavaScript!

Client-Side JavaScript/Dojo Debug Option
 New debug options
─ Use case:
– Dojo Library deployed in an OSGi bundle on the server
– Developer needs to debug uncompressed version of the source files
• e.g. xspClientDojo.js vs xspClientDojo.js.uncompressed.js
─ How:
– Set the “Use uncompressed resources” option in
XSP Properties editor
─ Result:
– The XPages runtime will server *.uncompressed.js & *.uncompressed.css if available (from
within the OSGi bundle)
