I'm developping a web application in Eclipse and I'm using maven, spring and tomcat. Now the problem I have is that debug as => debug on server doesn't work. I just get exceptions. (and yes I've created the server)

If I use the mvn command to compile it, put the war in my tomcat webapps dir and start my tomcat the application works fine. But for the functionallity I'm now working on debugging would be usefull.
