When I was working with an external/existing jBoss App Server Instance, I had an issue and I needed to debug something, so I had 2 options in my head:
And then playing around with my IDE, I found something really cool on the Debugging perspective of my Eclipse:
Click on Debug Configurations and you'll see a window like this one (Bind this configuration to your project)
Then, go to Remote Java Application, create a new Configuration
On the Connect tab, give a name select the Standard Connction type and in the Connection Properties give the location of your server and the "debugging" port (on my case is 5005)
Why port 5005? Well, on my jBoss setup I found this option on its configuration:
On "source tab", select Add your project (the one which is running on your App Server)
And in "common tab" check the Debug option, finally, Apply and you're ready to rock!
Now, after you'd started your App Server you can debug your current (running) App in your Eclipse by clicking on Debug Icon and selecting the configuration we just created!
Good luck and have fun!
- Create an internal instance (managed by my IDE: Eclipse) and do all the work there, for example like in Spring Source Tool Suite aka STS (which has its own App Server Integrated) or IBM RAD (which has its own version embedded of WebSphere)
- Put a bunch of DEBUG's on my Log4'j config and trace them through my Console
And then playing around with my IDE, I found something really cool on the Debugging perspective of my Eclipse:
Click on Debug Configurations and you'll see a window like this one (Bind this configuration to your project)

Why port 5005? Well, on my jBoss setup I found this option on its configuration:
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"By doing this, you'll enable debugging port on your JVM :D (Cool isn't it?)
On "source tab", select Add your project (the one which is running on your App Server)
And in "common tab" check the Debug option, finally, Apply and you're ready to rock!
Now, after you'd started your App Server you can debug your current (running) App in your Eclipse by clicking on Debug Icon and selecting the configuration we just created!
Good luck and have fun!
