Very true.
Debugging JSP is a very complex thing. I wrote a complete chapter about JSP
debugging for the upcoming Wrox JSP book.
It is possible to do the JDB style step debugging in JSP, but it's a PITA to
do.
There will eventually be tools to automate this, but I don't think these
will be stable and suited for general use (I mean cross-platform and cross-
server) in the next few months yet.
the best solutions are
- look at the code carefully ;-)
- out.println combined with HTML comments
- build your own debug class and log the statements to that
- System.out.println()
