Debugging jsp's in eclipse

[gwoodhouse]

Hello all,

Hopefully you can help me with something.

I'm working on a problem right now and im trying to solve it myself -
unfortunatly the problem involves passing a form bean from one jsp to
another with a field of the bean not being displayed on the other
side.

Now, if only i could have a snoop at the form bean from a debug window
- maybe i could see what the problem was.

In eclipse i can set a debug point in JSP code but i cannot evaluate
or inspect any of the variables in my code - I do however have access
to the page variables -

Could someone please tell me where i actually find things being passed
across (formbeans in particular?). I havn't been able to find out on
google.

Thanks in advance for your help - hopefully it will be a quick liner
for someone out there.

I've been able to debug JSPs in Eclipse with the JDT and WST projects
from eclipse.org. (Don't recall which one actually integrates the JSP.)

As far as debugging, I can set a breakpoint and stop in the JSP. I
cannot inspect the data through the "inspect" option, but I can look at
the Variables perspective and see everything in scope.

I hope that helps.
