The "FAQ/Developing" page has been changed by KonstantinKolinko. The comment on this change is: Review the instructions. Rephrase some of them.. http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing?action=diff&rev1=10&rev2=11 -------------------------------------------------- The short answer is to add the following options when the JVM is started: {{{-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n}}} + There are a number of ways you can do this depending on how you normally start Tomcat: + * If you are using shell scripts to start Tomcat, start it with the following command: {{{catalina jpda start}}}<<BR>>The above mentioned options can be provided by setting certain environment variables, e.g. {{{JPDA_ADDRESS=8000}}} and {{{JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket}}}. See comments at the top of {{{catalina.sh}}} or {{{.bat}}} file for details. * If you run Tomcat using service wrapper, add the above JVM options before any other JVM options. Check the documentation for the service to determine how to set JVM options. - * Set environment variables {{{JPDA_ADDRESS=8000}}} and {{{JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket}}} and then start tomcat using {{{catalina jpda start}}}. * If you start Tomcat from within an IDE, check the documentation for the IDE to determine how to set the required JVM options. The port does not need to be set to 8000, it may be any value appropriate for your system. @@ -25, +26 @@ <<Anchor(Q2)>>'''How do I remotely debug Tomcat using Eclipse?''' - This answer assumes that you have a project set up with all of the fixings and have some idea of what you're doing in this respect.
