Hello,
I am trying to remotely debug a jsp in tomcat 5.018. I cannot use myeclipse to start the server but I was hoping to be able to still use it for remote debugging of jsps. I have set up the remote connection correctly and I can debug a regular java class. My jsp’s are all in the WebRoot directory and have compiled fine. Any ideas?

Brian,

I’m not sure source-level JSP debugging will work if you don’t use our connector to start because IIRC we provide our own source locators at launch time so that Eclipse knows how to resolve the JSP classes. With manually configured remote launch connection, this isn’t going to happen so your JSP’s can’t be found.

thanks scott,
Is there any plan in the future to support remote debugging? I know that it is ideal to have the container running locally during development but in some instances it is just not possible. A great product like myeclipse would be made even better if it was made just slightly more flexible.

Is it more involved than adding the JSP compiler’s work directory (where the Java source and bytecode files related to JSPs are written) to the source lookup path?

If I can control how the remote JVM is started, would it become possible to do?

Thanks,

Brian,
There is an open enhancement for this, and its getting more popular by the day, so we think we can get it into the 3.9 release.
