Stuff At Work

Debugging a Web service running in tomcat is really useful some times. Following are the necessary steps for that.

1) Add following line to startup.bat file within  \bin location.

set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -DJava.compiler=NONE Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8000


2) Create a new eclipse debug configuration of type Remote Java Application for the project  and set its connection properties as below.
     Host: localhost
     Port:8000

3) Start tomcat and run the debug configuration.

Now, you can debug your web service.
