Debugging JSP with intellij IDEA

Question

I want to debug a JSP which is running in a server(based on tomcat 7.0.92). I am using IDEA ultimate 2019.1

I tried the approach suggested at https://stackoverflow.com/a/23781314/11414612 but still when loading the page, debug points are not working. I am not sure whether I have set the web facet correct. There are several modules written as OSGi bundles in the source code and whenever I add a new web facet from module settings, it asks to choose the module and It gets added to the modules section under the selected module. See the image

Can someone help me how to set these configurations?

Another thing that I noticed was although I cannot connect to the port without the server being started (expected behavior), when the server is down, debugger is still connected to the port until I stop it.
