Debugging servlets

Sherifu

There must be a better way than copying it onto the server each time.
Is there a container i can run it in, an extension for netbeans?
Please enlighten me.

netbeans comes with tomcat built in

netbeans comes with tomcat built in

I've noticed that alright,
but is it integrated into the IDE for debugging?,
or do you have to copy files to tomcat directories locally?

Haven't used netbeans but I assume it has a debugger in it. Enable remote debugging for your container (tomcat) and step through your code. Google for JPDA for instructions on it.

if its not integrated you cannot debug code.

using v4 simply select your web project, then from the
menu Run-> Debug Main Project
this launches the application in a browser window and pops
up the debugger in the ide

Cheers for that lads.
