Dennis, Thanks, I'll try debugging directly in Tomcat.

Hi Pablo, I generally stay with Tomcat for testing, hooking in for remote debugging from my IDE. To do this, you first have to start Tomcat with the debug transport enabled (using "catalina.sh jpda start" on Linux/Unix/Mac). You can then connect to the running server code from your IDE. Using Eclipse, you do this from your server code project by going to Run/Debug... Remote Java Application/New. This creates a debug configuration that matches the default for Tomcat running locally (localhost, port 8000). You just need to run this configuration and set a breakpoint in your server code in order to debug. On Windows it's a little more complex to configure Tomcat for Eclipse. I don't use Windows myself, but from looking at the slides I use in my training classes the default is for Tomcat to use a dt_shmem connector and address when run with catalina.bat. To change this, you need to set variables JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket and JPDA_ADDRESS=8000. Some people were able do just add these lines directly to the start of their catalina.bat file, but for others that didn't seem to work (even though everyone was using the same Tomcat version, 4.1.32 as I remember) and they had to instead set these as environmental variables before running catalina.bat. I've also used local transport in the past for some of my own development, since that allows you to have both client and server code in the same project. For most purposes I find the remote debugging on Tomcat works best, though. Note that this can also be used with your production system (so that if something breaks in production you can hook in directly to try to find the problem). If you want to do this you should naturally make sure that access to port 8000 (or whatever number you choose to use) is restricted. - Dennis -- Dennis M.
