I am trying to debug JSPs deployed in WebSphere 6.0 and wondering if this is supported by MyEclipse 4.0.3. As far as I know, WebSphere 6.0 is JSR-045 compliant for native JSP debugging. I followed the instructions on IBM developerworks to include debug info in the JSPs:

Has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks for your help.

kumarsn,
Have a look at our Guide specifically for WebSphere 6: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/websphere6/

I followed the WebSphere 6 section of the developer guide that you pointed out but still can’t get the debuuger to break in the JSP pages. Debuging of regular Java code works fine. Are IBM’s instructions on building JSPs with debug info correct – I didn’t see anything regarding that in the MyEclipse tutorial.

Thanks

Are you using the same JDK to run MyEclipse and WebSphere? Are you running WebSphere from MyEclipse in debug mode? (double check your connector settings)

[kumarsn]

I know I am starting WebSphere in debug mode since normal Java debugging works. My default JRE in Preferences->Java->Installed JREs and the JRE in Preferences->MyEclipse->ApplicationServers->WebSphere 6->JDK both point to C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java

I was also wondering if there is any way to get JSP debugging working with WebSphere 5.0 since that didn’t support JSR-045. Is anyone aware of a fix pack that can be used with WebSphere 5.0 for this.

Thanks

My guess would be that the WebSphere domain may not really be coming up in full debug mode. You can verify debugging is on by checking
in profiles\default\config\cells\[your cell name]Node01Cell\nodes\[your node name]Node01\servers\server1\server.xml
and look for the jvmEntries line – the debugMode entry should be set to true and have a similar debugArgs setup:
<jvmEntries xmi:id=”JavaVirtualMachine_1099753628812″ … debugMode=”true” debugArgs=”-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=7777″ …/>

If that’s not the case, you need to start WebSphere one time and then use the administration console to turn on debugging for the domain.

Did you install the application through the WAS administartion console as shown in the WebSphere 6 tutorial ?

If so, the issue might be the location of the particular breakpoint. Can you create a simple web project that contains only a JSP page based on our standard JSP template and then deploy that wrapped in an EAR? Can you set a breakpoint in the Java code in that page and have it work after installation in the server?
