We are trying to get JSP debugging to work with oc4j
the server is running in the debug mode on my local workstation.
JSP's are deployed on the server as a WAR
Setting breakpoint in the JSP does not stop the execution. Any suggestions?
thank you

JSP debugging won't work with OC4J / Orion because they don't support JSR-045 which is the source level debugging JSR. Source level JSP debugging is available on Tomcat 5, as well as any server that uses Jasper 2 for JSP compilation such as JBoss 3.2.4/Tomcat5 bundle, and some versions of Jetty and JRun I believe.

Thank you for such a quick response. We have contacted Oracle OC4J development to see whether they will be implementing that or not. It is a pitty though that we cannot do it.

Please let us know what they say.

Thats's strange. Using JDeveloper you can quite happily put break points in the JSP.

I'm curious does the JBuilder debugger provide JSP src level debug/stepping or is it Java/servlet src level debug/stepping of a compiled JSP?

Do not hampered yourself with OC4J. You can use a remote debugging. Eventhough Oracle doesn't support JSR-045 but you can do it, trust me I have using it more than 3 months, I can put breakpoint in my jsp and servlets, no problem or whatsoever. I will say the in debugging mode, it's more detail than tomcate debugger. Plenty of time tomcat miss out leak opened cursor in the db connection. OC4J tell you straight away at exact line. Seriously if you develop a J2EE application, do not use tomcat becuase it's not a J2EE container. You must remember, you must have OC4J container (9.0.4) in your own machine, it's only 23MB.

Hi putera79,

Do you have any doc to describe the step by step of remote debugging using OC4J?

Thanks,

Califny,

Information on using our remote debugging features is documented in the Remote Debugging Quickstart in the documentation section here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-67.html
