This may be a basic question but I am using app engine in eclipse
to develop a servlet and would like to debug my application as there
is a line of code which is tripping my application somewhere and causing
it to output nothing but a server error. I have tried debugging by right
clicking and selecting Debug As -> Web Application and opening a browser
to http://localhost:8888/ and selecting my servlet but when I do this I
do not see eclipse indigo classic step through the servlet’s lines of
code. And I don’t know where to find a log file with the offending output.
Any tips on how to proceed with the app engine servlet debug process would
be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
John Goche
Your application needs some configuration if you want to be able to run it locally. Open
Properties > Deployment assemblyof your project, and specify how its structure maps to the web app structure. Then starting a local tomcat in debug mode (with the app deployed there) should work fine (unless you use the Datastore)
