attach to a socket in localhost:8787

[op132650c]

Hi,

i would like to debug my program remotely, attaching my the gdb to a socket on
localhost:8787. How can i do that?

I've tried target remote 127.0.0.1:8787 and it doesn't work. Ie, the Jboss
application server aborts.

Thanks,
Pedro

Sorry, but we need a lot more information about what you're doing to
help.  What's running on that port - is it gdbserver?  Does it abort
when you connect or when you try to step or...?

I've worked on debugging a remote connection a few weeks ago,
may be you can use that to analyse the problem:

set debug remote 1

It will give you packet exchanged between gdb and the server.

I want to debug my Enterprise archive (ear) that is deployed in Jboss
Application Server.
When I start Jboss Application Server(AS) in debug mode, i've the following
message:


===============================================================================
.
  JBoss Bootstrap Environment
.
  JBOSS_HOME: c:\jboss-4.0.3SP1\bin\\..
.
  JAVA: D:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java

".
===============================================================================
.
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8787"

I use to debug my ear in Eclipse, creating a remote connection Standard (Socket
Attach) to localhost:8787.

Now, i want to debug my ear using gdb.

I used to do inside gdb:
target remote localhost:8787

but this abort the AS.

I hope that this will help.

Thanks,
Pedro

I have no idea what sort of server this is, but it is extremely
unlikely that it speaks the GDB protocol or can communicate with GDB.

I think I see the problem (maybe).  Pedro, you're talking about
Java, aren't you?  You were using Eclipse in java-debugging mode?

GDB can't do that -- at least not in the same way.
The gdb socket and the Jboss application server
socket are speaking different languages.

Re: attach to a socket in localhost:8787

[op132650c]

Yes, you right. I didn't know that it was possible GDB and AS having different
protocols.

But, since eclipse debugger is working over jdb, this means that jdb can talk
with the AS. Right??? I haven't still tried with jdb. Only with eclipse
debugger.

Why gdb implements a protocol different from jdb? Where can i get more
information about gdb protocols?

Thanks,
Pedro

Oh, sorry... and:

src/gdb/doc, from any recent gdb source tarball.

Sounds like.  But this is not the right forum for the question.
We don't really (at least, officially) know anything about jdb.
Only gdb.  ;-)

Because the gdb protocol predates java by at least 5 years.

If it's really the localhost, ie. the same IP that gdb is running on,
then you just say "target remote :8787".

Or I think you can say "target remote localhost:8787", but I'm not sure.
The first syntax should work.
