Guys,

i have installed the windows executable version of tomcat 5.5. It is fairly neat, however i am having the devil of a time trying to get myEclipse to remotely debug it in particular where do i put the

Code:

set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000 catalina.bat jpda start

parmeters ? have tried using the Java and startup tabs of the startup window but to no avail !

each time i try and debug from myEclipse i get the message

Code:

connection refused:connect

Go through section 3.2 of the following document. It explains how to set these parameters by typing them in your cmd.exe shell:-
http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/remotedebugging/#tomcat

sorry nipun,
I guess i didn't make myself clear but there is no catalina.bat in TOMCAT5.5/bin

in fact there are no bat files at all ( tomcat is started as a sevice ) check it out...

nipun,


Is there any way I can ensure that the JVM i am running my windows executable version of Tomcat 5.5 is actually picking up the envoironment variables i have specified before i execute the Tomcat5.exe.

NIPUN

Found the following error message in the logs for TOMCAT whenever i unsucessfully try to start tomcat via the system tray icon / window..

Code:

Dec 17, 2007 10:20:43 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap main WARNING: Bootstrap: command "start  jpda" does not exist. Dec 17, 2007 10:20:43 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap main WARNING: Bootstrap: command "start  jpda" does not exist. Dec 17, 2007 10:25:34 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap main WARNING: Bootstrap: command "  jpda start" does not exist. Dec 17, 2007 10:25:34 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap main WARNING: Bootstrap: command "  jpda start" does not exist.

whenever i put either combination of "jpda start" in the startup pams tab of the windows executable tomcat 5.5

the only aceptable parmeter appears to be "start" and this is the only way to start tom cat 5.5

any suggestions ?

Jim, sorry I don't have any really detailed experience managing a windows service for passing args like that. You could just use the embedded Tomcat inside MyEclipse and deploy it to the system install when you want (make sure they aren't running at the same time).
