If you have a web application deployed into Jetty you can interact with it remotely from a debugging
perspective easily. The basics are that you must start up the remote JVM with additional parameters and then
start up a remote debugging session in Eclipse for the webapp in question. This is easily accomplished.
</p><div xmlns:jfetch="java:org.eclipse.jetty.xslt.tools.JavaSourceFetchExtension" xmlns:fetch="java:org.eclipse.jetty.xslt.tools.SourceFetchExtension" xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0" xmlns:xslthl="http://xslthl.sf.net" xmlns:gcse="http://www.google.com" xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times" class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title"><i class="icon-asterisk"></i> Note</h3><p>
This example assumes you are deploying your web application into the jetty-distribution.

Assuming you have your webapp deployed into jetty, there are two different ways to approach this:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">Via command line</span></dt><dd><p>
Add the required parameters on the commandline like so.
</p><div class="screenexample"><pre class="screen">
$ java -Xdebug -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=9999,server=y,suspend=n -jar start.jar
</pre></div></dd><dt><span class="term">Via
<code class="filename">start.ini</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
This approach is best used if you want to debug a particular jetty-distribution and not have
to remember the commandline incantations.
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
Edit the
<code class="filename">start.ini</code>
and uncomment the --exec line, this is required if you are adding jvm options to the
start.ini file as jetty-start must generate the classpath required and fork a new
jvm.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Add the parameters mentioned above in the Command Line option so your start.ini
looks like this:
</p><div class="informalexample"><script type="syntaxhighlighter" class="brush: plain;toolbar: false">

# Configure JVM arguments.
# If JVM args are include in an ini file then --exec is needed
# to start a new JVM from start.jar with the extra args.

Uncomment any other jvm environmental options you so desire for your debugging
session.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Regardless of the option chosen, you should see the following lines at the top of
your jetty-distribution startup.
