Java EE 8 Development with Eclipse - Third Edition

By: Ram Kulkarni

Overview of this book

Java EE is one of the most popular tools for enterprise application design and development. With recent changes to Java EE 8 specifications, Java EE application development has become a lot simpler with the new specifications, some of which compete with the existing specifications. This guide provides a complete overview of developing highly performant, robust and secure enterprise applications with Java EE with Eclipse. The book begins by exploring different Java EE technologies and how to use them (JSP, JSF, JPA, JDBC, EJB, and more), along with suitable technologies for different scenarios. You will learn how to set up the development environment for Java EE applications and understand Java EE specifications in detail, with an emphasis on examples. The book takes you through deployment of an application in Tomcat, GlassFish Servers, and also in the cloud. It goes beyond the basics and covers topics like debugging, testing, deployment, and securing your Java EE applications. You'll also get to know techniques to develop cloud-ready microservices in Java EE.

Debugging an application in an externally configured Tomcat

Thus far, we have debugged our application using Tomcat configured within Eclipse. When we launched Tomcat in Debug mode, Eclipse took care of adding the JVM parameters for debugging to the Tomcat launch script. In this section, we will see how to launch an external (to Eclipse) Tomcat instance and connect to it from Eclipse. Although we are going to debug a remote instance of Tomcat, information in this section can be used for connecting to any remotely running Java program that is launched in Debug mode. We have already seen the debug parameters to pass when launching a remote application in Debug mode.

Launching Tomcat externally in Debug mode is not too difficult. Tomcat startup scripts already have an option to start the server in Debug mode; you just need to pass the appropriate parameters. From the Command Prompt, select the <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin folder and type the following command in Windows:

>catalina.bat jpda start...
