There are several ways to debug in Spring Boot.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Debugging using the IDE: you can set breakpoints in the IDE, then debug the code by running the application and pausing at the breakpoints. Popular IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, etc. all support this feature.<\/li>\n
  2. Add debug parameters in the application’s start configuration: By adding debug parameters when starting the application, you can enable debugging functionality. For example, in projects built with Maven, you can start debug mode using the following command:<\/li>\n
  3. Start the Spring Boot application with Maven, and enable remote debugging on port 5005.<\/li>\n
  4. Next, set up a remote debugging configuration in the IDE and connect to port 5005 to start debugging.<\/li>\n
  5. Utilize remote debugging tools such as Java Remote Debug (JVM remote debugging tool) or VisualVM to connect to running applications and debug code in real-time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No matter which method you choose, you can debug by setting breakpoints, examining variable values, and stepping through the code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
