Using the Preferences
page, you can define the preferences that the servers use when starting
or switching server modes. Switching server modes occurs when you
use the Run on Server or Debug
on Server commands.
To define these preferences, complete the following:
In the toolbar, select Window
> Preferences.
In the Preferences window, expand Server and
then select Launching.
Specify one or more of the following settings:
Option
Description
Automatically publish when starting servers
Specifies that all the files should automatically be published
before starting the server.
Save dirty editors before starting server
Specify the preference for saving the changes in any open
server editors before starting the server by selecting one of the
following options:
Always - specifies the workbench will automatically save any changes
in an open server editor before starting the server
Never - specifies the workbench will not save the changes in any
open editors before starting the server
Prompt - specifies the workbench to prompt you before saving any
changes in an open server editor
When switching to a different server
mode
When
switching the server to run in a different mode, for example using
the Run As > Run on Serveror Debug
As > Debug on Server,
specify the next action of the server by selecting one of the following
options:
Restart - specifies the workbench to stop and restart the server
Continue - specifies to continue running the server in previous
mode and ignore the change request of running in a different server
mode
Prompt - specifies the workbench to prompt you for the next server
action when you switch the server to run in a different mode
When switching the server out of debug
mode
When
you finish running the server in debug mode and switch out, for example
using the Run As > Run
on Server command,
specify the next action of the server by selecting one of the following
options:
Restart - specifies the workbench to stop and restart the server
Disable breakpoints - specifies to clear all previously set breakpoints
from the application and continue running the application in the newly
selected server mode
Continue - specifies to continue running the server in debug mode
and ignore the change request of running in a different server mode
Prompt - specifies the workbench to prompt you for the next server
action when switching the server out of debug mode
When switching the server into debug
mode, re-enable breakpoints
When you change the server mode into debug mode, for example
using the Debug As > Debug
on Server command, specify how to handle
the breakpoints currently set in your application by selecting one
of the following options:
Always - specifies to enable all the currently set breakpoints
in your application and break at them
Never - specifies the workbench to ignore all the breakpoints
previously set in your application and continue running the application
on the server in debug mode. When the workbench ignores all the breakpoints
in your application, the behavior of the server mode is similar to
using the Run on Server command. However, because the server
is running in debug mode, you have the opportunity to enable or re-enable
breakpoints in your application.
Prompt - specifies the workbench will prompt you on how to handle
the breakpoints set in your applications
