Remote debug struts Tomcat 4.1

Question

I'm trying to setup jdeveloper 10g to remote debug a struts application which is located in the web apps of the tomcat directory. I called myself setting up everything by using the help documentation. I'm doing something wrong, I need some help.

Hi.
For remote debugging, the Virtual Machine setting on the Runner options panel is not used. That Virtual Machine setting is used for local running/debugging, when JDev will be launching the debuggee process.
For remote debugging, you need to select the correct Remote Debugging Protocol. In the most recent JDev (the preview that came out in November/December 2004), that setting is in the Tools Preferences dialog box, on the Debugger - Remote panel. In previous versions of JDev, that setting is in the Project Properties dialog, on the Debugger - Remote panel (it's right under the Remote Debugging checkbox).
If you will be starting up Tomcat with ojvm (with -XXdebug,detached,port8080 option), then you want to select the "Attach to OJVM" radio button.
If you will be starting up Tomcat with Hotspot (with -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:<blah blah blah> options), then you want to select the "Attach to JPDA" (or perhaps, but less likely, the "Listen for JPDA") radio button.
