Port Forwarding

Michael — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:19:28 +0000

Eclipse provides the TCP/IP Monitor to watch the traffic in client-server communication. By default my application is directed to the monitor port. However, if Eclipse does not run, I need a substitute to replace this little tool.

PocketSOAP TCP Trace is such a tiny tool, that simply shows the readable content. Enough for me as I only want to forward the traffic.

Debug Tomcat 5.5

For those that cannot use the advice on debugging in Tomcat 6 (http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing).

Change the Tomcat startup properties in Start Menu -> Apache Tomcat 5.5 -> Configure Tomcat. In the tab Java, change the Java options by adding each on a separate line:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=7005,server=y,suspend=n

This will enable a debugger to listen on port 7005.

Save Eclipse Launch Configuration

Michael — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:02:42 +0000

By default Eclipse does not offer a button to export a launch or debug configuration. However, this can be useful for backup or to share a complicated configuration file. These files are stored as XMLs in the workspace using the extension .launch. You can find them in folder
workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core.launches\
There are also launches that refer to ANT build scripts.

Wo kommt denn nur die unbekannte Null her? Vielleicht aus Genf? Jedenfalls ist so etwas sicherlich typisch für einen Freitag Nachmittag.
