Add the following parameters to the tomcat JAVA_OPTIONS -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n
In Eclipse, create a new "Java Remote Application". By default, port used will be 8000 as configured previously. Launch Tomcat, run this "JRA", place breakpoints, use your web application. Eclipse will go in debug mode if breakpoints are meet. See http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/development.html for more explanations.
