how to run servlet in eclipse

[Shanthi Mari]

I am using eclipse3,tomcat 5.0.28 and Sysdeo plugin

I created a servlet program in Eclipse when I debug I get this error.


Failed to connect to remote VM.

java.io.IOException: EOF encountered during handshake

org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin$6.run(DebugUIPlugin.java:955)
org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:66)

Is any configuration error?

I assume the servlet is running successfully in Tomcat. If so, to debug it from eclipse you need to make some changes to the tomcat start-up script along the following lines:

set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
set JPDA_ADDRESS=6666 (You can change this number if you don't like it!)
catalina jpda start

Then, from eclipse create a new debug configuration for a remote Java application and specify the port as defined above.

When you run in debug mode Eclipse will connect to the VM used by Tomcat. Take a look at the Tomcat docs as they explain this better than I can here, but this should help you to get going.
