farmStartWarDebug task

farmStartWarDebug starts farm web-apps as WAR-files in debug mode.

Syntax

gradle farmStartWar

Effects

  1. By default each farm web-app is compiled and assembled into WAR-file (if it’s not up-to-date).

  2. If farm configuration overrides inplace property for some web-apps to true, then each of these web-apps gets compiled without creating WAR-file (if it’s not up-to-date).

  3. Embedded servlet-container starts in separate java process against WAR-files (and, optionally, against compiled classes and their dependencies).
    important: Upon start, the process is in suspended-mode and listens for debugger commands on port 5005.

  4. Upon resume, servlet-container process starts listening for HTTP-requests on port (default 8080).

  5. Gretty waits for servlet-container process to complete.

  6. Gradle script continues normal execution of tasks.

Note
 this task does not stop Jetty. It is assumed that another gradle process stops it, supposedly gradle farmStop.
