Hi,
I'm experiencing JSP debugging problem in WSAD 4.0.3 (all available patched applied) running on Windows 2000. When I put a breakpoint into the JSP code, it stays with blue icon (in "regular" code in turns to green, when it's ready). Breakpoint list in Debug perspective shows all breakpoints correctly. However, the execution is never stopped at JSP breakpoint even it stops at "regular" breakpoint during the same session. Server is running in debug mode, of course. Any ideas where the problem is?
Thanks in advance...

WSAD doesn't usually break at a blue icon. I don't know why but this happens in regular code too. You get a blue icon on a declaration statement like
int i=0;
Try finding something that is a "full" statement and put the breakpoint there.

Well I noticed that WSAD doesn't break on breakpoint with blue icon. However all breakpoints in my JSP are blue and it really doesn't matter what actual code they represent.

By any chance is all of your code expressions, like:
This is the kind of thing that WSAD doesn't stop on. Try temporarily inserting a statement like:

If you put this before the code that is crashing/wrong/... at put the breakpoint on the assignment, WSAD should stop there.

I agree it should. Unfortunately it does not. I have a pile of Java code between not only . There are conditions, object constructions, method invocations etc. Regular Java code. I tried to out about 30 breakpoint at different places/instructions, no one works. I think there is something wrong with breakpoint validation mechanism. JSP debug info generation is ON as well as server debug mode. Documentation says "put a breakpoint and that's it". It doesn work for me. I do not understand at all...

I agree that it should stop for the code you described. It does for me.
You may have to use print statements to see variable values. At least you can modify a JSP without restarting the server.
Good luck.
