Having a hard time with listeners and Netbeans for a simple JSP/Servlet test

[dennis]

I'm new to netbeans and the whole JSP world in general (i have
experience in j2me and the j2se). I basically wanted to test out the
listener functions.

I get no errors with the following code, however, i'm also not able to
'break' where i want to be able to and I have no output as I would
expect. Any suggestions/guides/leads to as how I can at least get a
break/output from MyHttpSessionListener using netbeans would be great.

MyHttpSessionListener.java
-------------------------------------------------------------
package com.maturitymodel;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent;

public class MyHttpSessionListener implements HttpSessionListener
{
public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent e)
{
System.err.println("Hello new session");
}
public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent e)
{
System.err.println("ByeBye old session");
}

}
