I still have problem. Here what I have done.

I am running tomcat on Win XP (local work station) and webapp that I want
to profile
First Scenario:
1- I added following in the catalina.bat file
  JAVA_OPTS=-XrunpiAgent:server=enabled
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
2- I started tomcat externally using the startup.bat
3- In eclipse when I try to attach the Java process (following docs
"Attaching to remote Java Process") I do not get any agent under the Agent
Tab. I have RASERVER running also. So I can not go any further.

Second Scenario:
1- 1- I added following in the catalina.bat file
  JAVA_OPTS=-XrunpiAgent:server=enabled
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
2- I follow the docs about "Launching a Java Application Remotely". I
click on "External Java Application"
3- On main tab
   class -> org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
   classpath -> I added all the jars in tomcat/bin and tomcat/server/lib
and tomcat/common/lib 
 I had to add these jars in the classpath so it can run and I also added
the tomcat/conf directory in the classpath. When I try to profile it gives
me following error in the console

Can't load server.xml
Can't load server.xml

I am kind of very confused and getting frustrated. I will greatly
appreciate if someone can give me steps to perform this task. Here what I
want to do

I want to profile a java J2EE web application running on tomcat 5.0.27.
Thanks a lot.
