Debugging a Server-Side Component

Thanks for using this pre-release version of Visual J++.

Once youÆve created, built, and deployed your server-side component, you may find it doesnÆt behave exactly as you expected. This is when youÆll want to debug your project to find the errors in your scripting and Java code. The following scenario takes you through the steps for setting up your environment to enable debugging of your Java server-side component. For more detailed instructions about debugging script, see the Visual InterDev topic, The Script Debugging Process.

Before you can begin to debug a server-side component, make sure you have:

• Created an .asp page to run your server-side component
  
  
• Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) installed on your computer or on a Web server
  
  
• Deployed your component to IIS
  
  
• Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later)

This scenario uses the project built in Creating a Server-Side Component. However, the following procedures provide information youÆll need to prepare any server-side component for debugging:

• Configuring Internet Information Server (IIS) for Debugging a Java Server-Side Component
  
  
• Preparing the Environment for Debugging a Java Server-Side Component
  
  
• Starting a Java Server-Side Component Debugging Session
