I was wondering if there was a trick to debugging JSP pages since the servlet source is automatically generated in some server-controlled location? I am able to remotely debug beans, but putting a breakpoint in the JSP source does nothing. When I put a breakpoint in the bean the JSP calls, it stops and when I reach the end of the bean it gives me a ‘cannot locate source’ message. I think I can manually point the source path to the ‘generated’ directory (I’m using Sun App Server 7), but this seems very manual and I cannot set break points in this file.

Thanks for any help.

A lot of it depends on the server being used as it must support JSR-045 for JSP source debugging. Sun App Server 7 does not, so no JSP debugging is possible. Sun 8, or 8.1 will work fine for you though. For additional information on how this all works, please see the Application Server and Web Project Quickstarts in our Docmentation section here:
