I've been following this tutorial which is how to setup remote debugging. I have my Jar running debug mode listening on port 6065 on my server with the following setting:
-Xrunjdwp\:transport\=dt_socket,server\=y,address\=6065,suspend\=n
I start the JAR on my server with jar in debug mode with:
myApplicationThatContainsJar.exe -debug "my application"
> Now Starting JVM
> Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 6065
I have psping tool installed which I use to ping (IPaddress:port). I am able to ping my ipaddress example: 44.66.33.66:6065 from my dev box and get a reply. But when I try to initiate remote debug in Eclipse I get:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused. Connection refused: connect
I have verified I've added permission for both inbound and outbound traffic for that port on both my DEV box and server.
When I start my JAR on my server and before I try to connect with Eclipse I do a:
psping 44.66.33.66:6065
And I get a response stating that it sent and recieved with 0% loss, meaning I am indeed getting a response.
In the eclipse debug configuration, which in the 'Debug Configurations' window I have the host and port listed properly and the 'Connection Type: Standard(Socket Attach)'.
As soon as I try to connect with Eclipse and get the connection refused error I try psping again from the command line, but now eclipse did something to the connection and I get in the command line:
The remote computer refused the network connection.
Any suggestions where else I should check? or where else I should troubleshoot? I'm trying to do remote-debugging for my JAR from the DEV box to my server.
-Xrunjdwp\:transport\=dt_socket,server\=y,address\=6065,suspend\=n
should be:
-Xrunjdwp\:transport\=dt_socket,server\=y,address\=6065,suspend\=y
notice the suspend\=y keep in mind I need to escape the equals and others may not need to do this. Once I set to suspend\=y the application waited for me to connect from eclipse and I was able to begin remote debugging.
Don't forget to open inbound and outbound traffic for the port you used for address\=6065
