How to remotely debug the webapplication running on tomcat service?

Question

I have my webapplication on tomcat 6 at serverA. I am running the tomcat as service i.e thru tomcat6w.exe lying under <tomcat_home>/bin folder. To remotely debug the weabbplication i have added below lines as suggested on different blog/sites on web in different line witout space at end. Mentioned the port as 8443 as application is running on same port.

-Xdebug-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8443,server=y,suspend=n

Now thru eclipse on server B i mentioned host as serverA and port 8443 and click debug. After 2-3 minutes it establishes connection without giving any error.But now when i hit webapplication url in IE it does not show up and says IE can not display the webpage. But as soon as i remove the above mentioned debug parameters and hit the url, application works fine. I am not getting how should i debug the application when tomcat is running as window service?

For Information Below are the parameters when i double click the tomcat service

Solution 1

In the Java Options tab add the below. Remember to put

-Xdebug 

and

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8733

in SEPARATE LINE.

-Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8733

Solution 2

you can pass JVM options using JvmOptions parameter:

tomcat.exe //TS// ++JvmOptions -Xdebug;-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044

or

tomcat.exe //RS// ++JvmOptions -Xdebug;-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044
