If you're a Windows user, register Tomcat as a Windows service:
- In the installation directory, locate the properties.ini file and copy the value of the tomcat_unique_service_name parameter (for example, alfrescoTomcatnum1).
- From the /tomcat/bin directory, run the following command at a command prompt: tomcat7w.exe //ES//<alfrescoTomcatnum1> , where <alfrescoTomcatnum1> is the value from your tomcat_unique_service_name parameter.
- Open the alfrescoTomcatnum1 properties window, select the
Java tab and the Java Options
field, and add the following lines of code on two separate
lines:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000
where address is a port for your system.
