[news.eclipse.tools] Remotely debugging a servlet (Tomcat/JBoss)

["McGee" <clalos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy,

I've never remotely debugged anything in any language, and here I want to
set some breakpoints and step through a servlet running in Tomcat 4.1.12 (as
part of JBoss 3.0.3). From what I understand, in theory I want to make sure
to run JBoss with the JVM in debug mode, in which I specify a port -- then,
I attach to that port. It shouldn't matter what options JBoss was built
with, as long as my servlet was built with debug info. However, the
mechanics of this elude me, particularly where I have to specify a project
in the Remote Java Application remote debugging wizard.

Does anyone experience with this?

Thank you kindly,
McGee
