Javascript debugger on tomcat

mailtorake

Hi,
The javascript debugging works perfect within eclipse; ie. with no deployment or no server in place.

But, my reports are deployed on a tomcat instance (whenever user hits a report, the report will be displayed on the web application's User Interface). I know how to debug java classes, but how can I enable javascript level debugging for reports deployed on a tomcat instance? Is it possible in first place?

I would appreciate any kind of help or pointers. I had posted the same in another forum: "Designing Birt Reports", but there was no proper response, so I'm trying my luck here.

Thanks

Rakesh,

I know if you use Java Event handlers you can attach remotely to debug them, but I have not tried this with the JavaScript debugger. You may want to log a bug for this. In the meantime you can always write out to a log file from an expression or a JavaScript event like:

importPackage( Packages.java.io );
out = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter( "c:/test/pgevents.txt", true ) );
out.println( "testing");
out.close();
