Enhydra: Debugging Enhydra applications in NetBeans

The most easiest way to debug is using JPDA

Steps:
0. Run your NetBeans. Open your Java files. Set your breakpoints.

1. Run your Enhydra application with these JVM parameters outside
   the NetBeans environment:

-Xint -Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=14999,suspend=n

Example:
%JDK_HOME%\bin\java -Xint -Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=14999,suspend=n
-Duser.dir=%COMPONENT_HOME%\bin\presentation\enhydra\jonas
com.lutris.multiServer.MultiServer %EJOSA_CONFIGURATION%

2. In NetBeans: Debug -> Attach (Use socket attach)
   Use the same port number -> 14999 as the JVM parameter.

3. Use your application with a web browser. When it reaches
   a breakpoint, NetBeans will show the location and stop the
   application flow. You can do whatever you want at this point. 

This debugging mode is pretty easy to use and works with all
kind of "server" type Java applications (EJB container, Servlet
container...).

I'm using JDK 1.4.1 (JDK 1.3.1 is not that stable in debugging
but it also worked).

Hope this helps!

I'm trying to debug a servlet that is being called by Enhydra but I
can't seem 
to get NetBeans to understand where the source and class files are...

The servlet was built outside of NetBeans using ant (when I try to run
the 
build inside of NetBeans, its environment gets polluted and the build
fails, 
even when I set the netbeans option for ant to ignore all other
classpaths).

Once I have it built, I make a netbeans project and add the various
jars, the 
build tree (with all the .class files in it) and the src tree (with all
the 
.java files in it).

When I start a debug session, Enhydra starts and runs fine, and when I
send 
requests, it calls my app fine, but if I try to set a breakpoint in my
source 
somewhere, the breakpoint never gets triggered.
