Any way to Debug a servlet?

Hello !!I was wondering how can I debug a servlet? I have written a servlet, and I run it, and I just don't know where it goes wrong, or what happens. Is there a way to use the System.out.println function or something like that?Thank you !!

Hello,

Have you checked the logs that your Servlet container keeps?

In case you want to write your own log how about create a file in servlet initialization and then write in it?

System.out.println will not work for a servlet unless you actually redirect System.out to a file

Hope this helps

Hello,There should be a log folder in your servlet container's home folder but check the documentation of your servlet container as well.Hope this helps

General principle: if you need a debugger (rather than logfiles for example) to figure out what's wrong with your application you should revise your application design and implementation.
