Is it possible to have the design view for a jsp page to display the generated page from a tomcat server so that I don’t have to see the actual javascript code snippets, and instead see the generated page? Right now my pages are full of <%= %> in design view and the page is almost easier to view in source view.

I don’t quite follow what you are asking… if you want to see the page that Tomcat generates, that just requires using a browser (the little “World” icon in your toolbar) to point it at your JSP page (e.g. http://localhost:8080/myapp/mypage.jsp)

If you wanted, for example, another tab in the editor to show you exactly what the running result is, there is not support for this at this time, but it’s a good idea for a future enhancement. (Unfortunately, special frameworks can make this hard to do well, for example, custom extension mappings).

Yes, that’s what I meant, to have design and actual result in one view, like in Dreamweaver where you can press a synchronize button and you see the generated information as well as table outlines etc. I guess it is not possible with MyEclipse yet…Thanks.

I see. No it’s not directly integrated into the editor, but opening a Web Browser view and simply places it after the editor you are working with would give you the same behavior (hitting refresh to see the new contents)
