Help! Launching Catalina with Debugging Enabled

[Ch...@mail.sprint.com]

I've just downloaded and installed tomcat 4.0 and I need to launch it 
with debugging enabled, but I'm darned if I can figure out how. I've 
searched the mailing list archives and I gather that I set TOMCAT_OPTS 
to something like 
"-Xnoagent-Xdebug-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket=5354,server=y,suspend=n".
 I just can't figure our where, i.e. what file, etc., I do this. I 
really, really need to get this going. I've got major testing milestone 
coming up tomorrow. Thanks much for your help.

Type 'catalina.sh' and check out the help screen of valid parameters 
including debug.  You could invoke catalina.sh directly or modify startup.sh 
(the better solution IMO) so it invokes catalina.sh with debug instead of 
start.  Check it out and see if it helps.

For Tomcat 4 the environment variable to set is CATALINA_OPTS, not
TOMCAT_OPTS.

If you're running on a Unix platform, also read the comments inside
"catalina.sh" about using the JPDA_OPTS environment variable, and starting
Tomcat with:

  $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh jpda start

in the tomcat.sh file in the bin directory. (or set the environment
variable..)
