JSP breakpoints don't break? [message #98883]

I've got Eclipse M6, WTP M4, Tomcat 4.1.31, J2SDK1.4.2_08. I *think* I've
got everything set up correctly: I created a J2EE Dynamic Web project with a
J2EE Web module. I created a very simple JSP. I debug launch the Server. I
right-click my jsp and select Debug on server..... The browser is launched
and the jsp runs fine, but the debugger doesn't stop at the breakpoint.
(Eclipse does not automatically switch to the Debug perspective -- don't
know if that's relevant.). I've checked every setting I can find --
everything *seems* ok.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

TIA
Mark

JSP debugging is supported using JSR45, which is only implemented by
Tomcat in versions 5.0 and higher.

Mark,

Once you created your JSP file, what method did you use to register your
Web Service program with Tomcat? I am struggling with that right now
using the different simple Web Services program samples. I would
appreciate any help that you can give me on this.

TIA,
Ben

Sounds like you're doing things right (assuming you have a JSR45 compliant server).

This is a bit of a wild guess, but a "user error" I often make is to press "skip all breakpoints"
in the debug window (at some earlier time) and then when I start debugging again, the setting is
still "skip all" so doesn't stop at any, even new ones added.

Also, be sure to try several locations. Its only supposed to allow you set breakpoints where
they are "legal", but not sure that's been well tested.

I installed Tomcat 5.5 (which in turn required JDK 5) and everything seems
to be working now.

Thank you!

Ben,

My app was a straight Java Server Pages app, it did not involve Web
Services. I haven't looked at the Web Services samples, so I don't have any
idea what's needed to get them working.

I wasn't using a JSR45 compliant server. I wish there had been a more
explicit indication that a JSR45 server was required to debug JSP. Anyway,
with Tomcat 5.5 installed, I can now successfully debug. Thanks for
responding.

Me too. We actually explored technical solutions to "query" the
server associated with a project to see if it supported JSR45 but
concluded there was no "spec'd" way to do it (or even an
industry defacto standard way to do it).

And, we concluded, it probably wasn't too high a priority, since, hopefully,
non-supporting servers will be a thing of the past before long :)

If you or others could contribute better documentation on either that
its required, or how to find out if a server does support it, feel
free to contribute to the 'documentation' component in bugzilla.
(or open a feature request).

Thanks
