hello All:

I am trying to set up remote debugging with Tomcat 5.5.9 and Nitrox.
I do not launch Tomcat from within Nitrox.
I run tomcat separately from the bin folder.
I run tomcat5w.

I have created a remote java application under run debug in nitrox to debug a particular java application, but it is not working at all, as soon as I try to lauch this debug, it gives me 'Connection refused' error.

has anyone setup remote debugging, the way, I am trying to do so, from within Nitrox and using Tomcat 5.5.9.

Pls let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Kavita Chhabria

You need to tell Tomcat to allow remote debugging. Take a look at catalina.bat/sh, in CATALINA_HOME/bin. Noet the variables JPDA_TRANSPORT and JPDA_ADDRESS - these have to be set for Tomcat to open its remote-debugging access.

I'm a bad boy - instead of setting these (appropriately) on the command line, I hard-code them into catalina.sh like so:Then, teach Nitrox to use 8180 as the debug-port.

Hope this helps!

Hello Grant:

Thanks so much for suggesting this solution, however, I am unable to located catalina.bat/sh in Tomcat 5.5.9, where is this file located, things are different in Tomcat 5.5.9, the steps that you have suggested, which version of Tomcat, have u tried them out with?

If you could kindly guide me to as to where is this bat or sh file located and how to add these variables to the file, I would really appreciate it.

i already know how to ask nitrox to listen at that remote debugging port.

Thanks so much,

Kavita

I'm running 5.5.9 myself (among other versions - maintenance is fun...)

Look in CATALINA_HOME/bin. CATALINA_HOME is what Tomcat calls the directory where you've installed Tomcat - on my machine, for example, I have it in E:/Tomcat5.5. Underneath CATALINA_HOME you'll see /bin, /common, /logs, /server, /shared, /temp, /webapps, and /work.

startup. and catalina.sh/bat are in the /bin directory. They're the way to start Tomcat from the command-line.

If you have it installed to start as a server - then you'll want to add the JPDA_* options to your system environment-variables, so Tomcat sees them when it starts itself.
