Brand new to MyEclipse, I checked but could no find a similar post.
Installed Brand new JDK 1.5
Tomat 5.5.9
Created a simple jsp app.
Deployed under Tomcat 5, and ran the app -works fine.
Changed Windows, Preferences, Tomcat5, Launch to Debug Mode.
Created a Debug configuration, host localhost, port 8000.
Ran under Debug, I get the following error:

Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

buzz, you are making this a lot more complicated then it needs to be.

1) Go back to your Tomcat config, make sure it’s setup correctly and it is set to run in Debug mode
2) Use the dropdown to start Tomcat
3) Set breakpoints in your Java/JSP files, and sit back and smile 🙂

Thx! I am use to WSAD where we run in debug mode. This is much easier.

Take care.
