Check out the web tools platform from Eclipse.org. It has a whole server management infrastructure component, so you can create/launch/debug/kill all your development containers right from Eclipse. Not of huge benefit to CF developers since it's at the JVM layer, not the CF layer, but for troubleshooting lower-level problems it can be a godsend.
The basic idea is you create a server instance in Eclipse pointed at your existing container and use Eclipse to start it up instead of the command line / windows service. Then you can introspect the running JVM from within Eclipse, as well as make certain types of modifications to the JVM without restarting (change variables, inject new method bodies, kill threads, etc.). cheers, barneyb On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 11:57 PM, Philip Kaplan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> You running the standalone version of CF, or are you in JEE mode? > J2EE mode. > >> Launch the container in debug mode from Eclipse. > > How do I do this?
