The Web Development tutorial within the MyEclipse help starts by assuming that you have Tomcat 5 installed.
Does anyone know if Tomcat 4 will work with this tutorial?
I tried installing the Tomcat 5.0.9 Beta release and we cannot get it to work properly. I’ve installed Tomcat many times over the years and have never had a problem with the install. This one eludes me.
Anyway, several things do not occur as expected based on the tutorial screen prints.
1. when trying to execute the debugger the breakpoints are not recognized.
2. I am using the default setting of bringing up Tomcat in Debug mode.

I guess my question is, does Tomcat 5 have capabilities that MyEclipse needs to perform debugging whereas Tomcat 4 does not.

Thanks.

I guess my question is, does Tomcat 5 have capabilities that MyEclipse needs to perform debugging whereas Tomcat 4 does not.

The answer is yes, it does. Tomcat 5 has support for the JSR-045 server debugging specification which enables the JSR-045 client support in MyEclipse to perform JSP source level debugging. As a result, JSP source level debugging won’t work with Tomcat 4. Other JSR-045 compliant application servers are Bejy Tiger and Jetty 5.

Thanks Scott.
My bad. I noticed that the tutorial actually states that (in bold).
I should read more closely.
