Debug properties

You can start the framework with preliminary defined levels of received debug information as well as with specific type of debug turned on.

System property

Default value

Description

mbs.debug

–

Switches on the debug levels of the framework. A level is associated with a module of the framework (see Framework architecture). The possible values are as follows:

0	No debug
1	Debug of Framework core
2	Debug of Package manager
3	Debug of Service manager
4	Debug of Event manager
5	Debug of Bundle manager
6	Debug of class loading in the used Class provider
7	Debug of Storage
8	Debug of loading the startup bundles list file
9	Debug of available URL handlers
10	Basic debug of security
11	Intermediate debug of security
12	Full debug of security
14	Debug of start levels management
15	Debug of Framework access service
16	Debug of Fault manager
17	Debug of Certificate manager
18	Debug on the execution of framework console commands
19	Debug of Transaction manager
20	Debug of the OSGi IO Connector service
21	Debug of the Comm module
22	Debug of Restart manager

You may specify more than one debug level as value to this property. In this case, use the following syntax:

mbs.debug=m[;n]

where m and n are debug levels.

mbs.log.errorlevel

false

If this property is true, the framework will log and print all debug and error information regardless of the other debug settings. Setting this property to true is useful during development for easier tracking of problematic situations.

mbs.security.debug

false

If this property is true, the framework will print detailed debug information about the security operations it is performing.
