Hi,

I am in the final stages with one of my projects and need to debug the application remotely, running on Tomcat 5.0.28 on Linux (RH 3.0 ES).

Now, I read all the forum mails I found about this issues and lots of other faqs, but still can’t seem to manage this …

On the server, I launch using $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh jpda start
The original launch script would not set -Xnoagent, so I tried adding this, but with no success …

The actual CATALINA_OPTS looks like this (I altered the launch script to show it): -Xnoagent -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8321,server=y,suspend=n

I configured a remote debug session pointing to the proper IP and port (8321) and also selected the right project to debug …

But whenever I try to debug, I get this message:

Exception occured during launch

Reason:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.

What am I doing wrong? I can’t think of anything and also couldn’t find anything pointing me to a problem I might have …

Thanks,
Chris

Never mind … I should get some more sleep …
The connection got blocked by the server side firewall. Opened defined port and things seem to work now!

Thanks,
Chris

you need define tomcat in myeclipse, set brekapoint and start server from myeclipse

you haven’t to edit catalina.sh – MyEclipse do it for you

I use the same option set to launch Tomcat 5.0.27 on a local VMWare guest running SuSE. I’ve never had any issues except when the port was not open. Have you checked that?
