The default JPDA options in GlassFish Server are as follows:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=9009
For Windows, you can change dt_socket to dt_shmem.
If you substitute suspend=y, the JVM software starts in suspended mode and stays suspended until a debugger attaches to it. This is helpful if you want to start debugging as soon as the JVM software starts.
To specify a different port (from 9009, the default) to use when attaching the JVM software to a debugger, specify address=port-number.
You can include additional options. A list of JPDA debugging options is available at http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/toolsapis/jpda/.
