Developing and Testing a custom job using java?

I have created a custom java job and method in DA, but still unclear how to develop, debug and test the java code. I have created the following class:

public test implements IdmMethod {

public void execute(Map params, OutputStream ostream) throws Exception {

.....

}

What are steps to develop and debug the test method above?

- Place your class file in Content Server /dba/java_methods directory

- Create a method in DA and give this file with package as verb . eg ; com.custom.test

- Create a job in DA and select the above method

- Run the job

- The log will be present in dba\logs or product\<version>\tomcat\logs

for debugging.... "System.out.println()" is the most basic option

better to use DfLogger.debug but then you have to chase down where to put the config settings and view the logs.

best of all is to use remote debugger of Eclipse to add break points and step through the code.

In the good old days of 5.3 Tomcat land, using DfLogger and Eclipse remote debugger was easy.... could even develop locally by setting up a 2nd server config and a local docbroker....

In 6.x land it is a world of pain
