Debugging GWT client side with IntelliJ12 JBOSS server

I try to set up 'GWT configuration' in IntelliJ 12. I am using JBoss as my server.

My project contains GWT client side code which talks to a set of java services. I been up and running with this project smoothly. Now, I need to debug a client side issue and I try to do it following below steps.

  1. From IntelliJIdea add a new GWT configuration. In the DevMode parameters I give below.

    -noserver -war "D:/code/myproject/target/myproject -startupUrl http://localhost:8080/myproject"

    enter image description here

  2. Launch the debug configuration.

I am getting below in the console

Dev Mode initialized. Startup URL: 
http://127.0.0.1:8888/Application.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997

But when I access the page using that URL I get a blank page.

Does any body have experience with configuring GWT debugging with IntelliJ with JBOSS?

Probably I may have missed out an argument in the dev mode parameters.

I found the problem. I haven't add my module name at the end of the DevMode parameters.

So I added -noserver -war "D:/code/myproject/target/myproject -startupUrl http://localhost:8080/myproject org.myproject.ui

After I added that every thing was working fine. After increasing the VM options to -Xmx1024m instead of initial -Xmx256m the page loaded much faster.
