Remote Debbugging with Tomcat

Thursday, June 19, 2008

In the catalina.sh or catalina.bat add the following statements with the other set declarations:
set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000
set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket

cd (change directory) to tomcat bin in command prompt or secure shell

execute the command catalina jpda start
leave jpda running in it's environment.

In eclipse enter a break point where you would like the application to break.
Under the Run go to the open debug dialog option.

Start up your app and begin testing!
