use a remote server during the development of app on eclipse

have a computer with COM ports, installed tomcat server. is it possible to use it as a remote server for developing Web applications which used the com port. particul开发者_JAVA百科arly interested in debugging. Thanks.

Here a tutorial to remote debug a tomcat server.

Java debugging usually go over a network connection. If all you have is a serial port (which is what COM port provides) then you must get a TCP/IP network up over serial FIRST. This is usually done with PPP or SLIP which is a quite interesting exercise in itself.
