Setting JSP Debugger Options

You can customize your JSP debugging sessions through the IDE's global options. You can specify whether to skip static HTML lines when debugging. Static HTML lines are lines that don't contain any JSP element or scripting language. When debugging with both the JSP source file and the generated servlet file open, you can also specify the files in which you want errors shown.

To set JSP debugger options:

  1. From the main menu, choose Tools and choose Options. The Options window opens.
  2. Expand the Debugging and Executing node, then choose JSP & Servlets Settings. The Properties pane is displayed.
  3. To instruct the IDE to skip HTML lines between JSP tags in the JSP source, as well as the corresponding lines in the generated servlet source, set Skip Static Lines to True.

To specify where compilation errors should appear:

  1. Open the Options window if you have not already done so.
  2. Expand the Building node, then choose JSP & Servlets Settings. The Properties pane is displayed.
  3. Set the JSP Compiler Errors option by choosing Show in servlet source or Show in JSP source from the combo box.
