Question

I am having the same problem as indicated by this thread.
How do I debug GlassFish 3 using Eclipse Helios?

I did use the “debug” instead “run” on the glassfish 3.1.1 server. Eclipse is Indigo. OEPE 11.1.1.8. I have a customized domain in which I changed all the port numbers, for server debug port, I used 10009. I am able to start the server, but the debugger is not working and shows “Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.” Eclipses log shows:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.launching 4 113 2011-12-01 10:29:42.602
!MESSAGE Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.

I am using jdk1.7 (OEPE declares it supports up to 1.6, but I don’t a simple socket connection for debugger won’t work due to this).

Found out that glassfish eclipse plugin does not support customized domain port. The debug port is fixed to be 9009 as of the current version.
