Debugging with Eclipse and Jboss

[div_]

I am trying to debug enterprise java beans (on the same server)using the Eclipse IDE/Jboss and so far have had very little success due to the fact that I am unable to connect to the VM when I initiate the debug session! Can anyone recommend or provide a tried and true example of a Eclipse/Jboss project (for newbies) that includes enterprise java beans, that would allow me to use the Eclipse debugger with the Jboss application server. My hope is that I could step through the bean as well as the client. Please include how you may have modified the run.bat to accomplish this? Really any cooperation here would be appreciated :)

Hi!

Add this line in the run.bat (windows).
Or appropriate in an UNIX env.

rem Debug mode
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,suspend=n,server=y,address=3553

In the IDE (Forte... sorry...)
Debug->Attach...
Debugger type: JPDA
Transport: dt_socket
Host: [IP-Adress of the Computer where the VM runs]
Port: 3553 (= the Port set in the line above)

Good luck!
Stefan

Stephan, thanks for you response! I assume that Eclipse should allow me to "step into" the bean once I designate the appropriate port. Otherwise, I'll try Forte.
