Re: JSP Debugging

[Petr Jiricka]

Anthony, if you just want to check if there is a syntax error in your JSP page, you don't really need a debugger. What you need is a compiler which will report lines with errors accurately. Tomcat's compiler is quite good in this respect. Now, it is true that JSP engines from different vendors usually differ in some details, but they are mostly compliant on the basic features, so it shouldn't be a big issue if you use Tomcat for development and JRun for deployment. I recommend you download an IDE which can compile your JSPs without the need to run a debugger (JSP debuggers tend to be very slow), such as Forte for Java from Sun, which uses Tomcat for JSP compilation internally. [I am not saying this because I want to advertise our product, but because I honestly think Forte is good in this respect.] Petr > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 3:06 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: JSP Debugging > > > I am using JRun.
