SUMMARY

To debug a Java/Component Object Model (COM) object that is called from Microsoft Visual Basic, you must generate an .exe file for your Visual Basic code and then tell Visual J++ to launch your Visual Basic .exe instead of JVIEW, WJVIEW, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Steps to Set Up Debugging

Generate an .exe file for your Visual Basic code that calls your Java/COM object.
In Visual J++, open your Java/COM project.
On the Project menu, click <Project> Properties, where <Project> is your project name.
On the Launch tab, click Custom.
In the Program Edit list, type the fully qualified path to your Visual Basic .exe.
Set any appropriate breakpoints in the Java code.
On the Debug menu, click Go.

This starts your Visual Basic .exe and calls the Java/COM object appropriately. When the Visual J++ debugger reaches one of the break points that you set within your object, it breaks and allows you to debug your Java code.
