title: Google Cloud Platform Debugger for Compute Engine with Payara/Glassfish Application Server
body: <p>I started an Ububtu VM on google cloud platform that contains a payara application server (a fork of Glassfish) and everything works great. The deployed app is a bunch of WAR files.
  Now I would like to debug the live application with google cloud debugger.
  I tried to implement the manual's instructions from <a href="https://cloud.google.com/debugger/docs/setup/java#gce" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and added support for war files as described <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-debug-java/blob/master/README.md" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  <p>Yet, whenever I tried to take a debug snapshot the live application using files from my local computer and the war files I uploaded to my application server  the debugger kept a problem occurred. The problem was that the debugger said it can't find the file in the executable.</p>
  <p>I also tried to upload the sources to my VM compile them and deploy them to the application server. It didn't also work.</p>
  <p>Does anyone have a working scenario where I can deploy war files to a Glassfish/Payara server and debug it within a VM on Google cloud platform?</p>
