Hi there,

I’ve just installed MyEclipse 2.7RC2 on a fresh Eclipse 2.1.1. I’m using Tomcat 5.0.14 on Linux with JDK 1.4.2.

First, I created a Java project, then added Web Project Capabilities.
(Deploying the exploded structure). I started Tomcat from MyEclipse.

After all, I cannot debug JSPs. Breakpoints are simply ignored; if I set
a breakpoint in a class and go up the stack, I get a “cannot find source for …_jspService).

So I tried the Hello-World examples from the help. They both worked.
I then removed the web capabilites from the project and started over – to no avail.

Any hints what I could further check?

Bye+Thanks! Tino.

Hi!

I don’t have Linux installed, but I recently had a problem debugging JSP, so I would like to help you out.
Were you able to debug JSP using the tutorial?

Yes, I could debug the examples from the tutorial. At first I had problems, but later it worked (though I don’t know what was wrong). Then I tried my real project and couldn’t get debugging to work.

Bye, Tino.

I experimented a little further…

I added the mappedfile attribute to the Tomcat config (altough it’s only recommended for 5.0.16 and I’m using 5.0.14). Now I can debug some of the files, but not the particular JSP I’m currently interested in.

There are no browser caches involved since I’m logging in again and therefore get a new session ID which is part of the URL.

Then I set a breakpoint in a Java class, and go up the stack trace into the JSP, I get a

Source not found for parentcat_005fdlg_jsp._jspService(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) line: 20

Any hints?

Bye, Tino.

Hmmm! This is perculiar. I’m currently looking into a similar problem reported here:

https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/tomcat5-debug-prob-for-jsps-w-and-default-closed/

Can you provide more info regarding your jsp’s location under the <web root> and ability to debug jsp’s in different dir structures of your app?

The app is rather huge, so it’s difficult to figure out what the differences are.

The project structure is roughly the following:

/ <-- project root
/webroot
/webroot/WEB-INF/classes/ <- source + compiled files are here
/webroot/jsp/
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/index.jsp <- I can debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/menu.jsp <- I can debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/parentcat_dlg.jsp <- I can *not* debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/parentcat_ctrl.jsp <- I can *not* debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/admin/sync/sync_dlg.jsp <- I can *not* debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/classic/case/problem_dlg.jsp <- I can *not* debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/ddm/show.jsp <- I can debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/ddm/clipboard_edit_dlg.jsp <- I can *not* debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/ddm/navigate.jsp <- I can debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/mainframe.jsp <- I can debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/media_dlg.jsp <- I can *not* debug this
/webroot/jsp/c4u/core/mediadlg.jsp <- I can debug this

I always set breakpoints in Java code sections, not on tags.

It looks like there’s a problem with underscores in JSP names?

Bye, Tino.

Thanks for the extra info and insight. I’m able to replicate a situation where breakpoints are ignored in JSP with ‘_’ in their filename. I have entered this problem in out issues tracking system for further research.

Thanks

Okay, bad luck for us – 95% of our JSP pages contain underscores, so the JSP debugging facilities of MyEclipse are now pretty useless for us. 🙁

Looking forward for a fix,

Tino.

Hi!

I’ve got tisc’s problem. Most part of the jsp pages of my web application contain underscores, and I can’t debug the pages in any way. 🙁 🙁

How is the researching for the fix? Is ths bug resolved yet?

Thanks in advance.

[tisc]

What’s the state of affairs?

This problem couldn’t be too hard to solve, right?

Bye, Tino.

Tino,
The debugging with underscores in the name should have been resolved a few releases ago, are you still seeing problems with Beta1?

Ah, fine. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks.

Tino.
