# Build

Click the Build button to compile the currently opened JWS file into bytecode interpretable by the Java Virtual Machine. Any errors that occur will be displayed in the error pane.

# Start

Click the Build button to compile the currently opened JWS file into bytecode interpretable by the Java Virtual Machine. Any errors that occur will be displayed in the Error Pane. If no errors are found a browser window will be launched showing the Test Page where you can test the methods that make up your web service. Note that any breakpoints you have placed in your code will be ignored. To activate any breakpoints in your code, click the Start and Debug button instead of the Start button.

# Start and Debug

Click the Build button to compile the currently opened JWS file into bytecode interpretable by the Java Virtual Machine. Any errors that occur will be displayed in the Error Pane. If no errors are found a browser window will be launched showing the Test Page where you can test the methods that make up your web service. Any break points you have placed in your code will be activated. Also debugging information will appear in the main work area providing information about the currently executing web service, such as the values of the local variables and the current position in the call stack.

# Stop

Click the Stop button to end the current debugging run of the web service. Clicking Stop ceases execution of your web service and closes the browser window which displays the Test Page.

# Step Into / Step Over / Step Out

When a breakpoint is encountered, execution is halted, and you have the option of stepping through the remaining code using the Step Into, Step Over, and Step Out buttons.

Clicking the Step Into button provides the most fine grained display of the executing code. With each click of the Step Into button, the current line of code will be executed, the pointer will move to, but not execute, the next line of code. If the current line of code is a method call, then the point will move to, but not execute, the first line of the called method. To complete execution and return to the original calling method click the Step Out button.

Click the Step Over button to simply execute the current line of code and move to the next line of code within the current method. Any subordinate method call which is encountered on the current line of code is simply executed without displaying the method called.

Click the Step Out button to complete execution of the entire current method and return to the original calling method (if any).

# Continue

Click the Continue button to resume execution of code until the next breakpoint is encountered.

# Toggle Breakpoint

Click the Toggle Breakpoint button to place a breakpoint on the current selected line of code, if a breakpoint is not already present there. If a breakpoint is present on the currently selected line of code, then clicking the Toggle Breakpoint button will remove the breakpoint.

# Clear All Breakpoints

Click the Clear All Breakpoints button to remove all breakpoints from the current file.
