Thanks.  I try to clean and regenerate the project and restart the 
server whenever I ran into something.  It is actually weirder than 
that.  Last week I had no problems and then over the weekend I attempted 
to hook up to my DB2 for i5/OS DB.  There are some subtleties I had to 
work out and I did a lot of comparing of the imported project we used in 
the workshop to the project I created from scratch and I finally figured 
out that I needed a context.xml file in the META-INF folder that would 
point to my JNDI resources.  That solved a weird JNDI error but then I 
had a class loading error (sigh!).  I contacted the guy who presented 
the course and he ran me through a one on one interactive tutorial for 
about an hour on Memorial Day (those IBM guys are phenomenal - doing a 
one on one to solve a problem on a holiday no less....).  We got stuff 
running great in WAS 6.0, I even have debugging available, but that was 
in a separate workspace.
I finally figured out my class loading issue with Tomcat in the old 
workspace and got the application running but now I can't debug.  I 
can't debug anything, even the stuff I had working in the imported 
project, so I guess my poking around to solve my other issues have 
broken something else.
The latest issue in this project in this workspace is I get the 
following stacktrace when I start the server:

It is acting like it can't find the .jar but jsf-api.jar is in 
web-inf/lib.  It may be the reason the debugging isn't starting...or 
maybe not.  Still trying to resolve this on.  Meanwhile, if I jump back 
to the new workspace with only the single WAS project, the exact same 
code works fine.  That is my backup right now so I can keep 
"experimenting".  I may just dump everything I have done in the old 
workspace and create a new one and but my Tomcat project from scratch, 
since I know what to look for.  Perhaps I'll get my debugging back then.
Thanks for chiming in.  I was afraid no one else had subscribed to the 
EGL list.

Try restarting your app server.  If a signature to a Java class got 
changed then it won't necessarily be able to stop at that breakpoint 
again, and if you have silenced the reminders that popup each time you 
do this then you wouldn't have been notified.  This is something I run 
into from time to time with regular JSF so I thought it might be your 
issue also.
HTH,

    When I right click my JSP page and select "Debug as" and "Debug on
    server" the application doesn't break at the breakpoint, although it
    runs.  Server status shows "Debugging".  At one time I had this

    but I must have broken something (no surprise there).  I must be
    missing
    something simple but don't know what.  What should I check ?
