Inprise JBuilder claims to support JSP debugging but... Kellan Elliott-McCrea, Aug 17, 2000 Inprise JBuilder claims to support JSP debugging but doesn't actually support placing breakpoints in the generated JSP source. Instead it has a built in JSP container that allows you to place breakpoints in associated beans, servlets, and classes that are used by the JSPs. This is not a serious problem if you are doing "model 2" jsp development, with all your logic abstracted away from the presentation layer, but it can be annoying.

Bartek Kiepuszewski, Dec 19, 2000 It is true that with VAJ, when using JSP execution monitor, you can simultaneously view the JSP source, the generated servlet source as well as the dynamically generated HTML content. Once you enable VAJ to work with Tomcat though, this feature is unavailable. Is this item helpful?  yes  no     Previous votes   Yes: 0  No: 0

I found Forte for Java (Internet edition) very helpful... Aprameya Paduthonse, Feb 1, 2001 I found Forte for Java (Internet edition) very helpful in debugging servlets and JSPs. It gives almost all the features you might have seen in Microsoft DevSudio or Symantec Visual Cafe and does not force you to use any Forte-specific libraries. It launches Tomcat internally. Forte is relatively cheap compared to others. See http://www.sun.com/forte/ffj/buy.html Is this item helpful?  yes  no     Previous votes   Yes: 0  No: 0
