I want to step through my web application through an Eclipse debugger. My web app is made up of servlets and jsps.
Right now, the jsps are compiled into servlets and put into a directory OUTSIDE the web app file hierarchy. I wish to reconfigure Tomcat so that jsp are compiled and put INSIDE the web app fire hierarchy so that my debugger can access it and step through it. How can I do this? I look in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml and it seems that the variable scratchdir is what I want. The documentation says that the "default work directory for the current web application" is what is used. What is the default work directory? -John Rodriguez
