Tomcat Debug in IDEA

S

stevengarcia

I can run Tomcat from within IDEA with no problem, but setting up
Tomcat within debug mode is way more problematic.

I'm using Tomcat 5.5 (zip version, not Windows executable)
IDEA 5.0
Windows XP
JRE 1.5

First, I created a tomcat server. Simple, I just pointed IDEA to the
\..\apache-tomcat-5.5 directory and it picked it up, jars and all.

Second, I go to "Edit Configurations" and created a Tomcat Server. I
have no web module, all I simply want to do is start tomcat in debug
mode, and have IDEA attach to it. On the server tab, I selected the
Tomcat server from above, and clicked on OK.

When I run Tomcat, everything works fine. My output looks like

cmd /c C:\java\tools\apache-tomcat-5.5.15\bin\catalina.bat run

Settings\Steven\.IntelliJIdea50\system\tomcat_Debug_Tomcat_36bcb17a

When I run Tomcat in Debug mode, it hangs right after it prints out the
evironment settings, then it says "Failed to connect debugger to port
5005." Isn't IDEA supposed to directly attach a debugger to the Tomcat
VM?

Debug options are set up as "socket" and address = 5005.

Can anyone help me with this?
