How to debug JSP in eclipse

[kumaresan Natarajan]

Hi All,

Currently we got a new module which has JSPs and Servlets. We need to test that one..

Can anybody help me out in how to debug those in ECLIPSE. I am aware of stand-alone applications debugging. Not the JSP and Servlets.

Thanks in Advance,
Kumaresan N

What specific server are you using?
The easiest way is to actually start your server from within Eclipse.
That way you can set break poitns in your servlet code, and step through it as normal.

Take a look in the Window references, under server->Installed Runtimes.
Add your server here (if available) and you should be able to run it from Eclipse.

Hello Liao,

Thanks for your reply. I got tomcat 4.1 with jre 1.4 & eclipse 3.0

But I can find web browser in preference.

"Go to Window > Preferences and then select Web Browser.
This page displays the Web browsers that have been found on your machine, and allows you to add and remove them from the list. The checked Web browser is the one that will be used by the tools. On most operating systems "Internal Web browser" will be checked by default"

do i need to install the tomcat 5 to get the web browser in the Window > Preference

please helpme
