Should it be possible to debug servlet code from inside MyEclipse?
Yes absolutely, and JSP pages, EJBs, POJOs and anything else Java as well.
I’m sure I’m doing something very simple that’s wrong… any hints gratefully accepted!
Make sure you are running Eclipse AND Tomcat with JDK 1.4+, preferably the same version of Java. Also make sure that your Eclipse compiler settings are not removing all the debugging information from the generated class files.
