I have added a remote in IDEA and set the port . but when i start debugging nothing happens just a message that "you can not open the port ". i have added the port in catalina.bat too . This problem has confused me

Tomcat should be ran by Idea, not by you manually. I don't know exactly how to tune this process in Idea6, but look for Web Server issue in your Preferences.
There are 2 ways to do this. One is to let IntelliJ launch an embedded Tomcat and have it use that. The other is to launch an independent Tomcat with Remote Debugging switched on and have IntelliJ connect to it just like IntelliJ would do remote debugging on any other application. The "remote" simply means "In a separate JVM". You can use remote debugging on both the local machine or remote machines (providing the firewalls permit it).
Unless it has changed recently, the IntelliJ embedded Tomcat server synthesizes its "server.xml" configuration and only understands a limited set of features. Good enough for basic webapp development, but not some of the more evil things I often do. Plus it will only handle debugging one webapp at a time. If you want more, you need to launch a standalone Tomcat.
Consult the IntelliJ documentation for up-to-date details on how to set up and use the debugging profiles for embedded Tomcat and remote debugging.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
