Debugging client side application - java

I am trying to debug my client side code which i have checked-out from SVN to eclipse workspace. My server process is already up and running. I have a start-up script for our client which has the following line to start the client.
jre/bin/java splash:images/initializing.png -classpath "$CLASS_PATH" in.co.xxx.xxx.yyy.yyy.launcher.Launcher $* &
I added the debugging related arguments to it
jre/bin/java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=9045,suspend=n -splash:images/initializing.png -classpath "$CLASS_PATH" in.co.xxx.xxx.yyy.yyy.launcher.Launcher $* &
In Eclipse i went to debug configurations entered the hostname and port number(same i mentioned in the startup script (9045)). I added all the client related classes in source tab of debug configurations. Now comes the problem.
When i click debug button after all this, the remote debugger should be launching and waiting for the connection when i fire my start-up script. But it is saying
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused
I have tried with different port numbers as well. Nothing seems to work. Please suggest what am i missing here .

Did you check Eclipse logs to see if anything further got logged there? Also, when you say debug did not launch 'post authentication page', did you see on the 'server side' if there is a message to 'standard output' stating that the debug port is 'released'? (something similar to this would be emitted on standard output). If this did not show up, then the 'first successful connection' might not have actually released the debugger while you think it did.
Also this works for me here, the only difference I see is that the order of parameters in your and my debug switch are different. Hope this helps!
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8080,server=y,suspend=n

Spring Boot with debug args not close debug port after application stopped

I'm running my Spring Boot application with debug mode enabled. Like:
mvn -P dev spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"
I can debug the application after that without any problem. But, after stopped (ctrl + c) and try to start again, I receive this error:
[INFO] Attaching agents: []
ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [debugInit.c:750]
So, every time that I need to start the application in debug mode after that, I need to kill the process using the port 5005.
I would like to know why the port 5005 is still opened after stop the application.
I'm using Cygwin64 on Windows 10, Maven 3.5.2, Java 8 and Spring Boot 1.5.9.RELEASE.
Thanks!
This is not a problem of Spring Boot, but a problem of non-cygwin applications running in cygwin. And your application is not only leaving port 5005 open, it just keeps running in the background, having port 8080 also opened, but as on a restart the debug port is first opened, this is what you see in the error message.
This was discussed in a SpringBoot issue back in 2014 https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/773. I cite from this issue (the link in the citation dates from 2006):
Anyone still following this bug, this isn't a Spring Boot bug at all. It's a known problem with non-Cygwin programs (Java in this case) running on pty-based terminals.
See this link for a full explanation why this can't be fixed: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-12/msg00151.html
So you can basically use one of the following approaches:
use the native windows terminal and setup your java and maven environment for that
run your maven command from within an IDE which can handle this - you might use this for debugging as well
add the Spring Actuator to your app and use the /shutdown endpoint to stop your application

Debug tomEE on IntelliJ

I know that this answer was asked before, but I couldn't find a clear solution from the given answers.
I want to debug a maven project that implements a web service on tomEE using IntelliJ or any other IDE.
I know that instead of calling the goal tomee:run I must call tomee:debug. And that's what I did:
In IntelliJ, I click on Run / Edit Configurations then +, I chosen Maven, I located the project directory and I set tomee:debugas command line. I started the debug and it says:
Started server process on port: 8080
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
I think this first step is correct. The second step as I understood is to create a remote configuration, and this is what I failed to do.
What I did is the following:
Run / Edit Configurationsthen +, then TomEE Server. Here I choose local or remote? In my case I think local because the project is local on the device and I call it using localhost:8080.
After that, how to configure this page? What will be the port number 5005 or 8080? And when I finish configuring this page what I do? Run or debug?
I would appreciate a detailed answer because I was not able to understand the short answers given on other questions.
Here's the solution:
Step 1:
In IntelliJ, I click on Run / Edit Configurations then + to add a new configuration, I chosen Maven, I located the project directory and I set tomee:debugas command line. I started the debug and it says:
Started server process on port: 8080
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
An alternative solution can be by locating the project directory in terminal and running the command: mvn tomee:debug
Step 2: In IntelliJ, I click on Run / Edit Configurations then + to add a new configuration, I chosen Remote, and I specify localhost with port 5005.
Now I click OK, and I debug this configuration.
Breakpoints are detectable and debugging works perfect.

Intellij debugger giving error for groovy tests while running using gradle test runner but works while using java test runner [duplicate]

I am trying to debug a simple Java application on my machine using Eclipse as an IDE. When I try to debug the application by entering the Debug Perspective, I set a breakpoint and start debug. Within a few seconds, the following pop-up window:
Launching unicodeRead has encountered a problem. Cannot connect to VM.
The message dumped on the console is as follows:
ERROR: transport error 202: connect failed: Connection refused
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:708]
FATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized, jvmtiError=AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197)
How do I correct this? Why does this happen?
I just had the same problem.
Yesterday everything worked fine, now nothing - same error as you gave. I found out that network admins made some changes in the meantime. Some firewall stuff. Problem is that Eclipse tries to establish connection to JVM at "localhost" (and some random port). When I tried pinging localhost (or 127.0.0.1) I got following:
C:\Windows\system32>ping 127.0.0.1
Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
and
C:\Windows\system32>ping localhost
Ping request could not find host localhost. Please check the name and try again.
It seams that in some cases DNS is expected to resolve this, and if firewall prevents localhost requests to DNS - stuff breaks. I had to alter hosts file and remove comments in following lines, so I would not rely on DNS for this anymore:
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Although it is written that hosts file changes take effect immediately, I think that some processes locked this and restart was necessary in my case. After that, everything worked again.
Had same problem, but the solution was to run the application with -server=y option and not with -server=n.
Before:
java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:5005
After:
java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=localhost:5005
Looks like the same problem as here. A reboot of the pc fixed the problem there. I haven't found any other solutions.
I was seeing an error while using the -X format:
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=4000,suspend=n myapp
The error went away when I switched to the newer format:
java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=4000,suspend=n myapp
Its Very Simple,Just do the Following Changes in eclipse.ini file.
-vm
binary\com.sun.java.jdk.win32.x86_1.6.0.u43\jre\bin\javaw.exe
I changed
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=9009,server=n,suspend=y
to
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=9009,server=y,suspend=n
and that did the trick!
My case is I have a bunch of domains refer to 127.0.0.1 in hosts file, like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost domian1.local domain2.local domain3.local
one day I added another new domain to refer to 127.0.0.1. By mistake, I put the domain in front of "localhost", like this:
127.0.0.1 domain4.local localhost domian1.local domain2.local domainx.local
After this, I always got an alert window in eclipse while debugging:
Cannot connect to VM
com.sun.jdi.connect.TransportTimeoutException
In console:
ERROR: transport error 202: connect failed: Connection refused
ERROR: JDWP: Failed to initialize transport via localhost:50470, trying localhost via 127.0.0.1:50470
FATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized, jvmtiError=AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197)
ERROR: transport error 202: connect failed: Connection refused
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:690]
The solution is keep "localhost" at the first position all the time.
127.0.0.1 localhost domian1.local domain2.local domainx.local domain4.local
What solved for me was deleting the entire domain1 folder inside the domains folder on glassfish main folder.
Eclipse will ask you to recreate a domain and then everything works again.
In eclipse select Run tab -> Debug configuration -> Junit -> select your test name ->
Environment tab -> add variable server=y .
I was getting the same error on my ubuntu machine because of a mishap with the /etc/hosts file. I had commented out the mapping of localhost to 127.0.0.1, and to complicate matters further there was a swap file hanging around.
This was the first line of my /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 #localhost
Deleting the # fixed the problem, whereas rebooting understandably had not.
My cause & solution were completely different.
I think in my case it was due to the installation of JProfiler. I fixed it by uninstalling JProfiler and launching eclipse with the -clean option. I suspect that JProfiler was inserting itself in the debugger. The -clean option forces Eclipse to re-assess its plugins, so that alone might have been sufficient.
Continuing #gonadarian's answer, it seems Eclipse uses port 127.0.0.1 for debug purposes. This port is also called localhost. The way this error can be removed is by ensuring that there are no processes or services running on the above ports. The way to do this, on Linux is:
As root, enter the command:
netstat -tulpn | grep 127.0.0.1
If there are processes running on the above port, it will show up in the format:
process_id/process name.
Kill the above processes like so: kill -KILL process_id
Restart the computer for these changes to take effect. The error should no longer occur.

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.

Unable to deploy in Netbeans 6.7.1 and Glassfish v2.1.1

I am trying to deploy a simple WebService in Netbeans 6.7.1 and Glassfish v2.1.1 and am getting the following error. I am using GlassfishESBv2.2 and windows 7 machine. I have tried googling and implemented things as shown in
http://forums.netbeans.org/topic10055-0-asc-0.html . Still unable to deploy. Though the message says that application server is not started, from the Server tab , I am able to see a message which indicates Glassfish has started.Also , doing a netstat after trying to deploy returns this, which means that Glassfish is running.
C:>netstat -an | findstr "4848"

I have been trying real hard to get this resolved. Any help is highly appreciated.
Error Message :
The Sun Java System Application Server could not start.
More information about the cause is in the Server log file.
Possible reasons include:
- IDE timeout: refresh the server node to see if it's running now.
- Port conflicts. (use netstat -a to detect possible port numbers already used by the operating system.)
- Incorrect server configuration (domain.xml to be corrected manually)
- Corrupted Deployed Applications preventing the server to start.(This can be seen in the server.log file. In this case, domain.xml needs to be modified).
- Invalid installation location.
