The RTGov UI uses GWT and Errai. To debug the UI we will be using the GWT Super Dev Mode.

  • Ensure that the UI war to be debugged has been deployed to the app server

  • Use the gwt-maven-plugin to start the codeserver using the mvn gwt:run-codeserver command from the ui/overlord-rtgov-ui-base folder.

  • Open your browser (Chrome) to localhost:9876 and copy the "Dev Mode On" bookmark somewhere

  • Open your browser (Chrome) to the RTGov UI (i.e. localhost:8080/rtgov-ui)

  • Click the "Dev Mode On" book mark. It should prompt you with a white box on the page. Click the "Compile" button

The debugger in the browser will have access to the Java code through source maps, to enable you to set breakpoints.
