- Right click on the project, and select "Debug". This should re-build the project, start-up Tomcat in debug-mode, and open up your application in your default web browser. You should see a "Debugger Console" appear.
- You can now add breakpoints to areas of your code. The debugger should automatically stop at those points and let you step through your code line-by-line.
- * Note: Occasionally, the first time you perform debugging, the debugger doesn't connect properly with your Tomcat Server. If you find it's not stopping at your breakpoints, you may wish to "Attach" the debugger manually:
- From the "Debug" menu, select "Attach Debugger.."
- For the "Connector", specify "SharedMemoryAttach".
- For the "Name", specify "tomcat_shared_memory_id" (without the quotes).
- Click "OK" to save these settings
- Finally, verify that Tomcat is specifying this "tomcat_shared_memory_id" field.
- Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Servers"
- Click on your Tomcat Server, and visit the "Startup" tab.
- Make sure the "Shared Memory Name" setting is selected, and that the value is also "tomcat_shared_memory_id".
- From the "Debug" menu, select "Attach Debugger.."
