<P>I notice that "lps/Server/tomcat-5.0.2.4/bin/" contains the main BAT files for starting up, especially "catalina.bat" seems relevant and can accept jaca opts as a parameter. Am I on the right track? How should I set it?</P>

<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>Gilad, this is somewhat complicated, but very useful. The secret here is to use the Tomcat remote debugging options.
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Stop tomcat, then</DIV>
<DIV>$ cd $LPS_HOME </DIV>
<DIV>$ export DEBUG_TOMCAT=true</DIV>
<DIV>$ ant tomcat.start </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>This runs tomcat with these options:</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>-Xdebug -Xint -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=9999</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I've only done the next step in IntelliJ IDEA, but you can probably do it in Eclipse too -- find UI that talks about "connect to tomcat servlet" and enter options based on the options specified above. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>You should build the server with lots of debugging information compiled in, and help Eclipse find the source. That is a difficult task, and I haven't done it in a year.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps. </DIV>

<P>Hi</P>
<P>Sorry if this is a newbie question. I am new to the topic.</P>
<P>I'm in an existing OL app, which has the setup of Java classes on the tomcat being called by xml-RPC from the (flash 9) OL client. The Java classes are on the same Tomcat instance as the LPS servlet.</P>
<P>What I'm trying to achieve: set a breakpoint and line-by-line debugging (in Eclipse if possible) of the Java classes (that are running in Tomcat) when a call comes in from the client. Note I am not trying to debug the lzx code but rather the server-side java code.</P>
<P>I've tried the Eclipse WTP and tried setting up Tomcat to debug through that, which usually works; but starting that up together with the LPS servlets did not work for me.</P>
<P>I am guessing there is some easy way - I just missed it. Any input?</P>
<P>Thanks</P>
