Enable -Xverbose Command line option of JRockit when running Weblogic

Last update: 31/5/2011

Go to JDeveloper's System Directory, DefaultDomain, bin

Edit setDomainEnv.cmd with:

Add in EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES the -Xverbose Command line option you want
eg. If you want to ebable -Xverbose:exceptions=debug
Replace
set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=-Djps.app.credential.overwrite.allowed=true %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES%
with
set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=-Djps.app.credential.overwrite.allowed=true -Xverbose:exceptions=debug 
          %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES%
(the above line in one line)

The result will be something like

Note: That in the above screenshot the embedded WLS is configured to run with JRockit, because Xverbose is a JRockit option.

The problem is that after the application is deployed and the page is is prompted, output is redirected to stderr and nothing is logged in JDeveloper log pane
So it is better to running from the bat script in the DefaultDomain. See below on how to redirect the output.

Redirect output 

You may want to

startWebLogic.cmd > sdout.log  2> sderr.log



That Create 2 files


Note: There is also a more convenient way with -XverboseLog .

Running embedded Weblogic with JRockit

Go to JDeveloper's System Directory, DefaultDomain, bin

Edit setDomainEnv.cmd with:

Right after the initial comments add
set JAVA_VENDOR=Oracle

Replace the line:
set BEA_JAVA_HOME
with 
set BEA_JAVA_HOME=C:\JRockit\Java\jrockit-jdk1.6.0_20-R28.1.0-4.0.1
where BEA_JAVA_HOME is where the JRockit is installed.

Optionally, print java version to make sure you set it right.
echo java_home = %java_home%
%java_home%\bin\java.exe -version

 

The result is

JVM arguments and System properties of a running JDeveloper

Helpful to troubleshooting problematic JDeveloper behavior:

Run JDeveloper

Open  Java VisualVM eg %JAVA_HOME%/bin/jvisualvm.exe

Select JDeveloper

Decompiling ADF classes

Download Java Decompiler.

Extract zip and run included .exe

Open file and select a ADF lib eg. adfm.jar located in my case under C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\oracle.adf.model_11.1.1




As you can see all packages are there.

Select the class you to see eg. oracle.jbo.server.ViewObjectImpl

Thanx Nick for the tip!

oracle.jbo.server package through the eyes of JSizer

Running JSizer (a tool that shows java code size.) on oracle.jbo.server would give:

  

SO quoting Charalampos Arapidis

• The Width of a class-node represents the number of fields.
• The Height of a node represents the number of methods.
• The Color represents LOC - lines of code.

So, quoting jSizer's author Robert Olofsson:

What you want to do is to look at the graph, find the big dark boxes and possibly refactor them.

Code templates

Intro
Code template is for example sop.
So, if you write: sop and you Press Ctrl+ Enter,
JDeveloper editor will replace it with System.out.println();

You can see the existing Code Templates under
Tools -- Preferences --Code Editor --- Code Templates

You can write sop in the Search box to quickly find sop

Write your own
Let's write a template for a think a developer performs frequently. A template for logger.debug();
Click +
Under Shortcut you add: logd . This is the string you want to type. 
Under Context you choose the "place" this template will be prompted. In this case Java.
Under Code tab the text that will replace the logd when pressing Ctrl+Enter, which will be logger.debug($end$);  The $end$ indicated where the cursor will be placed for you to write after inserting the logger.debug();. So, logger.debug(); will be inserted and you ll start to write after (.
