I was wondering whether anybody who's got tomcat to start up on a debug JVM would be kind enough to add another option to catalina.[bat|sh] and possibly a debugstartup.[bat|sh]? Failing that, if somebody would tell me how, I'd be willing to do so. Thanks, John. PS, I'm looking to use Netbeans as the debugger if specifics are required... ======================================================================= Information in this email and any attachments are confidential, and may not be copied or used by anyone other than the addressee, nor disclosed to any third party without our permission.
