My environment
Eclipse: Version: 3.0.1
My Eclipse: Version: 3.8.4
OS: Win XP Professional
JSDK: 1.4.2

When I put a breakpoint in a scriptlet in a JSP, start my web application, the debugger stops at
<html:html locale=”true”>
Then I hit F6 to ‘Step Over, the debugger stops at
</html:html>

As you can see, the scriptlet is skipped completely. How can I debug the scriptlet line by line as if debugging in a Java file?

Thanks!

xsun,
Try setting the breakpoint at the first line of the scriplet’s code, instead of the surrounding tag. There is an issue with the source mapping jumping around when dealing with taglibs, it’s a hairy problem.

Also, providing information on what server your using and what JDK your using to launch it would help us determine what the issue is.

I didn’t put breakpoint at the line of the tag, I put it somewhere in the middle of the scriptlet.
I am running JBoss3, and JDK is 1.4.2.

What verion of JBoss3 specifically?

Some versions of JBoss3 were bundled with Tomcat4, which don’t support JSR-45 (jsp debugging) and later versions were bundled with Tomcat5 which does support JSR-45.

JBoss 3.2.4RC1, which uses Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/5.0.19.
