Debugging Servlets

Group,

I have been working with some large Jar files trying to work out some bugs.  My 
debug 
process is to add logging statements where necessary and then republish the 
results.  
This code is only having a problem running on my iSeries and not on any other 
platform 
that I have deployed it to.  I am using the Enterprise version of VA/Java and 
its debugger 
works great when running on my PC. I tried the distributed debugger and can't 
seem to 
get it to work against my deployed Jar files.  I compile and deploy with 
debugging enabled.  

I am using Tomcat so it is not too much bother to run this interactively.  I 
have not figured out 
how to debug code in a Jar file and removing a single class causes a problem 
with 
Tomcat's class loader (it always picks up the Jar version). 

I have a couple of ideas.  First deploy as java files and then compile on the 
AS/400 and 
run javac -g.  I am not sure how I start debugging unless I use runjva against 
tomcat start.  
Is there a way to pick up a class other than the initial class?  Also how would 
I compile 
my 400 classes with javac (I suspect a simple qshell script, but an example 
would help).  

The next idea is to figure out the distributed debugger, which I think is 
hindered by the same 
problems I am seeing with the interactive debugger.

I appreciate any input or ideas.

David Morris
