Remote debugging of Glassfish

[michal.owsiak]

Hello NetBeans team,

we are still struggling with remote debugging in NetBeans 7.0.

There is this project, where we have to perform remote debugging of the application deployed on Glassfish.

Everything is set up correctly, we can deploy application, we can start application we can connect to remote Glassfish from NetBeans.

However, if we try to start remote debugging session, NetBeans fails to do so. It tries to restart server and that's it. All we can see is a progress bar indicating that server is being restarted.

Funny thing is, that locally it works just fine.

Just to clarify:

- we have ports opened and accessible (telnet works fine)
- server is started in debug mode
- admin port is accessible
- NetBeans can reach server and we can deploy application
- Debugger is the only thing that fails

Now, do you have any check-list we can follow when it comes to setting up remote debugging in NetBeans with Glassfish?

BTW. jdb seems to connect just fine:

michalo:/Users/michalo/> jdb -attach host_name:9009
Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable
Set deferred uncaught java.lang.Throwable
Initializing jdb ...
