[VOTE] adding a unix script to start tomcat with jpda

[Joseph Toussaint <to...@jakarta.apache.org>]

I tested this script with tomcat3.2.  I'd write a win32 equivalent, but my 
bat file scripting isn't strong enough.  My understanding is that tomcat is 
jdk1.1 compliment, and jdpa requires at least jdk1.2.2 if not jdk1.3.0 
(depending on your os) - but jpda is a powerful tool and I think that this 
script would be a cool addition to tomcat.  Besides people don't have to 
start tomcat with jdpa - it's a option.

thanks!

# Shell script to startup the server the JDDA debugging turned on.
# The JDPA debugger is only available in JDK1.3.0 or higher on
# Windows and Solaris.  It is part of the JDK1.2.2 distribution
# on Linux.
#
# If you are running a version of the JDK that does not include
# JDPA you can download a platform dependant version from
# http://java.sun.com/products/jpda/download.html
#
# When tomcat starts up look for a line that says
#
#   Listening for transport dt_socket at address: <port-number>
#
# That is the port that you need to tell the jdb client to connect to.
#
# For more information about JDPA look at the sun documentation
# http://java.sun.com/products/jdpa
