How to debug web project in MyEclipse using JBoss server?

I am new to jboss and myeclipse.
I want to debug my web app using jboss 4.0.4
I am using MyEclipse.
I gone through various links and found we need to uncomment following line in run.bat file
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=y %JAVA_OPTS%
then after starting run.bat console shows
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8787
Then next how do I tell MyEclipse to attach to port 8787 and run my application in debug mode.

You need to define a Remote Java Application in the Eclipse debug configurations:
Open the debug configurations (select project, then open from menu run/debug configurations)
Select Remote Java Application in the left tree and press "New" button
On the right panel select your web app project and enter 8787 in the port field.
Here is a link to a detailed description of this process.
When you start the remote debug configuration Eclipse will attach to the JBoss process. If successful the debug view will show the JBoss threads. There is also a disconnect icon in the toolbar/menu to stop remote debugging.

Define a new server/runtime in MyEclipse, for your JBoss 4 installation. Deploy your project to the defined server and start it in debugging mode.
For more information, go to the MyEclipse learning center, also here.
For earlier releases, check in the inbuilt help.

Eclipse connection refused when remote debugging

I've been following this tutorial which is how to setup remote debugging.
I have my Jar running debug mode listening on port 6065 on my server with the following setting:
-Xrunjdwp\:transport\=dt_socket,server\=y,address\=6065,suspend\=n
I start the JAR on my server with jar in debug mode with:
myApplicationThatContainsJar.exe -debug "my application"
> Now Starting JVM
> Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 6065
I have psping tool installed which I use to ping (IPaddress:port). I am able to ping my ipaddress example: 44.66.33.66:6065 from my dev box and get a reply. But when I try to initiate remote debug in Eclipse I get:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused. Connection
refused: connect
I have verified I've added permission for both inbound and outbound traffic for that port on both my DEV box and server.
When I start my JAR on my server and before I try to connect with Eclipse I do a:
psping 44.66.33.66:6065
And I get a response stating that it sent and recieved with 0% loss, meaning I am indeed getting a response.
In the eclipse debug configuration, which in the 'Debug Configurations' window I have the host and port listed properly and the 'Connection Type: Standard(Socket Attach)'.
As soon as I try to connect with Eclipse and get the connection refused error I try psping again from the command line, but now eclipse did something to the connection and I get in the command line:
The remote computer refused the network connection.
Any suggestions where else I should check? or where else I should troubleshoot? I'm trying to do remote-debugging for my JAR from the DEV box to my server.

-Xrunjdwp\:transport\=dt_socket,server\=y,address\=6065,suspend\=n
should be:
-Xrunjdwp\:transport\=dt_socket,server\=y,address\=6065,suspend\=y
notice the suspend\=y keep in mind I need to escape the equals and others may not need to do this. Once I set to suspend\=y the application waited for me to connect from eclipse and I was able to begin remote debugging.
Don't forget to open inbound and outbound traffic for the port you used for address\=6065

Check network setting in VM and set Attached to: Bridged Adapter
Check VM IP using ipconfig command
Run Java Application using following command
> java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=4000,suspend=n myapp
Above command myapp replace to your application name
In eclipse go to debug configuration -> remote java Application -> New
Host: remote VM ip
Port: given port that given in command
Apply -> Debug

Failed to connect to remote VM using Glassfish and Eclipse

i'm using Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and Eclipse Kepler.
Glassfish configuration:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=9009.
Debug: Enabled
Into Eclipse, in the Remote Java Application i've selected the project, and in the connection properties i've set:
Host: localhost
port: 9009
When i try to connect the debug, the message error is:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused: connect
I've checked the port 9009 with a telnet, and is not used...
can someone help me?

[SOLVED] it's a problem with the glassfish plugin in Eclipse! you must to start glassfish form the command line, not from the Eclipse window. After, you can connect like remote debug to your local glassfish ;)

In Host, you need to give IP address of the remote machine you want to connect.
localhost is your own machine.

Unable to start WebLogic remotely to Debug

I setup my remote WebLogic server to debug, using these options:
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=${DEBUG_PORT},server=y,suspend=n -Djava.compiler=NONE"
I started WebLogic on the server and saw that it was listening on 8453 for dt_socket. I added the remote server on my local Eclipse and tested the connection. I also see that the server is STARTED and I can view the details. However, I'm unable to restart in DEBUG. I also stopped WebLogic on the server and now in Eclipse I see that it is stopped, but I'm not able to start it (the icons for debug and start are greyed out). When I set up my Remote Java Application in Eclipse I did check "Allow termination of remote VM".
Before stopping the server, the debug icon wasn't disabled and when I clicked it I got this message:
Cannot attach to remote server.
Please make sure the server myserver.com is running and listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8453
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused: connect

Instead of using java startup options, modify the following scripts:
setDomainEnv.sh -> make sure DEBUG_PORT is set ie. 8453
startWebLogic.sh -> set PRODUCTION_MODE=false and set debugFlag=true
Restart server, remote debug should work on port 8453.

Remote debugging on Tomcat with Eclipse

I'm trying to initiate a remote debugging session on my PC with Eclipse & Tomcat.
I managed to run tomcat (not through eclipse) with the following params:
set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
set JPDA_ADDRESS=5050
cataline jpda start
The server starts ok, this is the outcome:
Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Java\Tomcat"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\Java\Tomcat"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\Java\Tomcat\temp"
Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_27"
Using CLASSPATH: ...
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5050
...
...
INFO: Server startup in 12502 ms
Now, I opened eclipse, and loaded the relevant project.
I set a new debugging configuration using Remote Java Application with localhost and the right port. however when I run it, I get this error message:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused: connect
Can't really understand where is the problem. this is all local inside the PC, so there shouldn't be any firewalls involved, can someone think of something ?

Found the solution. apparently the connection was made, but Eclipse & Tomcat don'tt show any notification or status regarding it.
Then, when you initiate the connection again, you get the error because you're already connected.
I think that a small notice, either from Eclipse, or from Tomcat would be nice.

Try adding the following debug options directly to the JVM startup by directly modifying the catalina startup script
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5050

There could be problems when there are code mismatches between eclipse and tomcat. So when it matches the error will disappear

You can configure it in remote java application section in debug configuration.
