Remote Debugging Without Pre-configuration

[segevb]

Hi guys,

How can I debug from a remote computer, without making any
pre-configurations on the server side.
I.e. I want to run the application normally, without any special
parameters, on machine X, and then, when a problem occurres, to connect
to X from machine Y, and debug the application.

All I found until now, is that I can do it only if I run the
application with specific parameters.
Anybody knows something else?

10x,

You can't.

If a Java VM would accept debug connections without specific start options,
it would open a big security hole.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry would be able to hack into running Java-based
servers (of Ebay, online-banks, etc.) to do their forgery.
Is it that what you plan to do?
