Thiago Leão Moreira 13 Years Ago Hey Ray, I use to work in a different and IMO more efficient way. I start my Tomcat in a remote debug mode, just call from command line the command: "catalina.sh jpda run" . Then you can connect your Eclipse to Liferay using the "Debug Configurations > Remote Java Application" menu. By default the host and port points to the correct place. You can also disconnect as you wish and continue the normal testing. Give a try and let me know.um abraço! Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Ray Augé Thiago Leão Moreira 13 Years Ago I started this way long ago. I dropped it because it caused me to have to editing the tomcat configurations all the time, setting different VM settings, etc. With the method I use, I can duplicate the run config, and change only a few settins, such as adding JMX, or particular GC settings, etc., all without touching the files in the bundle. I can even switch to different installed JVMs configured in Eclipse without having to edit more config, or change the system PATHs or settings. Please sign in to reply. Reply as...

Vilmos Kozma 13 Years Ago Hi Ray!It's good to see this stuff written down. However, for the whole picture it would be nice to hear about hot code replacement. When I debug my code and find something to be fixed I like not having to run any build script to test the new code. So is the above description solves this issue or we need to do some extra work to get the JVM to hot code replace? Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Ray Augé Vilmos Kozma 13 Years Ago You can do hot code replacement using this technique. There is of course the limitation of the (Sun) JVM, which does not allow new|changes to the class's public signature.Oh, and the project does have to be listed in the sources tab of the run configuration.

Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Ray Augé Corné Aussems 13 Years Ago Eclipse should do it automatically. Of course you can't add new methods, but changes should be pushed automatically as soon as you save, while in debug.Just make sure to include their path to the jsp java source in the run configuration (that is in the "work" folder, [tc]/work/Catalina/localhost/*/). Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Ray Augé Ray Augé 13 Years Ago Oh, as I learned the hard way last week, jsp pre-compile breaks the ability to debug them, so don't do that. They have to be compiled inside the debugged JVM. I even tried pre-compiling them with debug flags added, but it still didn't work. Anyone with insight in that please let me know.

Daniel Niklas 13 Years Ago Hi,you can combine your ideas. Extend VM arguments to-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=nSo you get the advantages metioned by Ray and you can use "Remote Debugging" as Thiago has described.

Corné Aussems 13 Years Ago I just found out by trial that when in the Servers View you add a Tomcat Server or Liferay Server (IDE/Studio) and point it to your newly build bundle and just under Open launch configuration >> Source >> Add : Java Project >> The portal project.
