I'm trying to debug my servlets using Visual Caf� and I can't quite get it to work. I'm using:
Catalina from Tomcat 4.0.2 Visual Caf� 4.5.1 Expert (trial) VM 1.3.1_02 IIS (with isapi_redirect.dll as the servlet engine) When I start the VC debugger, Catalina can find my web.xml and loads my servlet which is marked as load-on-startup. All looks fine. However, when I start a client browser and point it to the loaded servlet, the VC debugger catches a NoSuchMethodError and it tries to find the source of org.apache.catalina.code.StandardContextValve (presumably it's trying to step into the code). The local_host log shows no unusual errors, but I do get "GET /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll 500" in the IIS log. Everything runs normally when I run Catalina from the command line (i.e. not from the debugger) so I don't think the problem lies with IIS. Obviously, some kind of message is getting through from the client browser, via IIS, to the VC debugger. It's very frustrating because I feel it's almost working - but not quite! Does anyone have experience of successfully debugging using Visual Caf�? Where am I going wrong? Many thanks, Cathy
