Starting JBoss in debug mode

[eric.lewis]

I'm trying to start JBoss 4.0.3 on Win2K in debug mode. For this, I changed the run.bat as follows:

...

rem Setup JBoss specific properties
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%
set JBOSS_HOME=%DIRNAME%\..

rem Sun JVM memory allocation pool parameters. Modify as appropriate.
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m

rem JPDA options. Uncomment and modify as appropriate to enable remote debugging.
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=y %JAVA_OPTS%

rem Setup the java endorsed dirs
set JBOSS_ENDORSED_DIRS=%JBOSS_HOME%\lib\endorsed

...

However, when I start it, it just hangs after displaying

===============================================================================
.
 JBoss Bootstrap Environment
.
 JBOSS_HOME: C:\jboss-4.0.3\bin\\..
.
 JAVA: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin\java
.
 JAVA_OPTS: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=y -Dprogram.name=run.bat -Xms128m -Xmx512m
.
 CLASSPATH: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\lib\tools.jar;C:\jboss-4.0.3\bin\\run.jar
.
===============================================================================
.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

What you're doing is that you start JBoss with remote debugging enabled. When you do that you need to connect a remote debugger to your JBoss instance and then you will see JBoss continue booting...

change your suspend=y to suspend=n. Otherwise the JVM will wait for your debugger to connect before proceeding with the programm execution.

Please modify java_opts as follows

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xbootclasspath/p:%LM%\lib\vbjorb.jar
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005

-Xbootclasspath can be used if you need to add any jar to bootclasspath its optional.
