start tomcat 3.3.2 in debug mode

[indu pai]

Hi,

I have an application running in tomcat 3.3.2, and the project created in Eclipse 3.1 I am trying to debug this application, from eclipse, on a windows machine.
I started the tomcat server with the option
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8081,server=y,suspend=n

but once the server started, if i check the listening ports, port 8081 is not displayed.
Can anybody help me in this?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming that you mean debugging in Eclipse, so I've moved this to the IDEs forum.

P.S. Tomcat 3? Why so ancient a version?

Instructions for Tomcat 5.5 (modify it to suit tomcat 3.3.2)


Modify <Tomcat install folder>/bin/catalina.bat

Replace

set DEBUG_OPTS=

with

set DEBUG_OPTS= -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

Start Tomcat. In Eclipse, go to "Run->Debug...". Click on "Remote Java Applications", then click "New". Type in the title and all. Notice that port 8000 from the Tomcat instructions. Save and run. Eclipse will connect to the VM that Tomcat is running under.

Lynette Thanks for the reply..

In tomcat 3.3.2 there is no catalina file. it uses tomcat.bat.
I added this option in that, but it did not work out.
I was wondering if that option is supported by tomcat3.3.2.

If you have any idea, please let me know.
