Hi Larry: Thanks for that tip. Unfortunately, I'm still not able to set this working. It's strange because I can debug an ordinary servlet (e.g., one that comes with Tomcat), but I can't debug a servlet created by Jasper.
Do you have any other suggestions? Can I put a CLASSDEBUG attribute in the SERVER.XML file (I can't tell since it doesn't have a DTD)? Do I have anything missing from the Java command line I'm using to start Tomcat? I tried adding "-Xint" but that didn't help. Is there a Jasper configuration file I can modify? I believe I just need to add a "-g" to the Javac command line that creates the compiled servlet, but I don't know how to do that. Thanks in advance.
