Is your server(i.e tomcat or Jboss or whatever) running and listening for debugging connections?
here is how I use Tomcat, JBoss and Eclipse to build and debug applications. Which ever platform you are using (tomcat or JBoss) you need to start them with the JPDA debugging enabled. For tomcat this is very easy. In the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory there is a script catalina.sh. If you provide the arguments 'jpda start' tomcat will startup and listen on port 8000 for a debugger connection. With JBoss its only slightly more complicated. Basically you need to specify the JAVA_OPTS to have java start up listening for debugger connections. I typically copy the $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh to $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run-debug.sh but you can just as easily setup the JAVA_OPTS environment variable and use the run.sh script. The value of JAVA_OPTS needs have -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=4142,suspend=n specified. here is the official info on the connection arguments: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jpda/conninv.html Once you have JBoss or Tomcat running and listening for debugging connections you are good to go for connectin with Eclipse. Ofcourse you need have mention the same listen port in your 'debug launch configuration' of eclipse. Hope this will help.
