Hi,
When I try to debug a JSP project with myeclipse 5.5.1GA I cannot inspect/watch/display variables on JSP pages. In same project I can inspect/watch/display some java code.
I see variables tab , and I see all of the variables there, but all of the functions inspect/watch/display are grayed. Can anyone help? Tnx.

I was unable to reproduce this issue at my end. Can you switch to a brand new workspace, create a new web project, add a simple JSP page to it and try adding break points to it and see if that works.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Sorry for the late reply.
No it didn’t help. I try it many times with different parameters. I’m running windows VISTA, forgoth to mention this before.
Anyway,
Tomcat configuration
base/home directory C:\Tomcat 5.5
otional program arguments: -clean -debug
tomcat JDK name: location of jdk folder C:\Program Files\java\jdk….
launch: Debug mode

Java version is 1.5.0_07 (it is instaled in “program files” which is kind of protected in vista)

So. The same thing is happaning with my project, also if I create a fresh new Web project.

So let me describe again, i can go to debug mode and I can step trough my *.jsp file, I can set a breakpoint, and it hit breakpoint and stop, I can see tab “variables” where I see the actual value of the primitives (and others but it’s hard to look complex structure this way)
but i cannot watch/inspect not a single expression. In the same project when a servlet is called and I go into servlet java file I can do everything (I can watch/inspect/…etc).

Hope this helps a little.
Regards.

inastasi,
Would it be possible for you to download our new MyEclipse 6.0 GA release (all in one installer) and install it to a brand new directory and then reopen your existing workspace and retry running your application in our embedded Tomcat server and seeing if everything worked? (Just right-click on project and go to Debug As > MyEclipse Server Application)

Well, still no results!
Here is what I did:
I installed MyEclipse 6.0GA which I downloaded from site, and I installed in new directory, no other instance ever before uses this folder.
I START myeclipse (Run as Administrator), and confirm new WORKSPACE in C:\Users\…\Workspace, then I confirm passing through FIREWAL.
I cancel QuickInstall.

Then I select File->New->WebProject, and enter project name “_test” and select “Java EE5.0”.
I open a index.jsp in the editor and put a breakpoint at the beging like “String path = request.getContextPath()”
Then right-click on project->DebugAs->MyEclipseServerApplication.
It stops at breakpoint , and everything is same , I can step through file, but no inspect/watch/display ..
Personaly I think that it is part of Problem “Source Not Find” since I seen that message few times…
I also noticed that my settings are left from previous installatons , like windows positioning, and stuff like that …so I think maybe some settings may left that cause this.
Rigards.

You will want to make sure you are using a new workspace, like C:\Users\…\NewWorkspace, and try and name the project something like “TestWebProject”, maybe the underscore is the problem? Not sure…
