Hi,
I have bean using MyEclipse plugging and I have a problem debugging jsp files in my project.
I’m deploying and running Tomcat without using MyEclipse deployment tool (external batch file and ant file)
I’m debugging Tomcat in a remote way. (port 4000)
the project I’m using is a plain java project and I have a linked folder to the presentation that holds the jsp files in my presentation folder directory.
I was able to set brakepoints in the jsp but I was not able to stop at them.
Do I have to add something to the project (work directory..)?
please advise this problem is a critical one for my company

kobih,
There are 3 requirements for successful JSP debugging:
1) JDK 1.4+ to run Eclipse and Application Server
2) Application Server supporting JSR-45 (Tomcat 5)
3) Start the application server from MyEclipse

The reason step #3 is important is because MyEclipse will hook the JSP source locater into the debugging process so breakpoints in JSP pages can be mapped from the Java class file back to the JSP page.
