Before you follow the instructions
in this topic, you must have generated
each JSF Handler that you want to debug at least once, as explained
in Debugging Web projects with the EGL debugger,
and you must have
started your server in Debug mode (see Configuring a server for EGL Web debugging).
To
start debugging an EGL Web application, follow these steps:
- In
the Project Explorer for the EGL perspective, expand the WebContent/WEB-INF
folder for your project. Right-click the JSP file that you want to
run and
then select from the pop-up menu. EGL will change
to
the Debug perspective, deploy the application to the server, and start
the
application.
- Begin debugging the application. For an overview
of this process, see Stepping through an application in the EGL debugger.
- As you find bugs and correct your EGL code, make sure that the
debugger
picks up the changes and continues debugging with the updated code.
The easiest
way to make the debugger use the updated code is to generate the parts
that
you have changed, but you can also restart the server or restart the
project
on the server.
