Hi All,
I have an application running in a apache-tomcat environment. Apache is in
front for authentication/static pages/etc. and tomcat does all the job.
They talk to each other via mod_JK2. Both apache and tomcat are defined as
separate services in Windows and run via a shell-script. I call the script
as an External-tools and it runs fine and I can run my application in a
browser. However, when I want to debug the application and put breakpoints
to stop the app in certain points, it keeps running (same as it runs
normally) to the end. I wrote another application and used only tomcat
(running inside eclipse) and was able to debug that application with no
problem.
My Questions:
Is there any way that I define a Windows service as the External-tool?
Is it possible to setup Apache (the same way that we define app-servers in
Eclipse) in Eclipse?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Farshad,
To make the code debuggable, eclipse has to somehow understand the code.
So if the application is started by windows services, eclipse won't know
the application at all. It has to be eclipse that starts your application.
What I am doing to debug webapp in tomcat could be a little bit
different but I believe it's the most efficient way. My solution is:
Prepare a runtime tomcat environment like
\<runtime env>
+ conf\
+ server.xml
+ tomcat-users.xml
+ logs\
+ webapps\
Add <tomcat dir>\bin\bootstrap.jar into classpath
Start application with
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -Dcatalina.home=<tomcat dir>
-Dcatalina.base=<runtime env> start
If tomcat is started properly, you will be able to debug the code now.

Jiaqi

I use a startup-script for tomcat, too. I've taken the script
"startup-tomcat.cmd" from tomcat_home/bin and added the following lines, so
the JVM in which tomcat lives will start with debugging support.
:doneSetArgs
set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000
call "%EXECUTABLE%" jpda start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
:end
Here you can see that there are two new variables (JPDA_TRANSPORT and
JPDA_ADDRESS) and the command for starting tomcat contains a new attribute
(jpda). These variables can also be applied to the tomcat Windows service
through the start menu "Configure Tomcat".
When you start tomcat with this script you can debug your web application
with external debugging in eclipse. I also use an Ant build file which
creates an exploded web archiv (directory with web application layout) and I
map the context in tomcat to this directory, so I can make "hot code
replacement".
