I do not work with JSPs, but with a single servlet (alas, we are /not/
J2EE yet.)
For localhost: I use an ant target to start the servlet. From there,
click up the Run -> Debug... -> Remote Java Application. New. Enter a
name, point to the Java project I am working on. Apply. Debug. Not
too hard.
From there I can add breakpoints by double-clicking in the left-margin
on a line of code in the file or right clicking and selecting breakpoint
from the context menu.
Go to the browser, click the link. The debugger catches execution at
the breakpoint and shows me the stack. I can fully navigate the call
stack over all threads in the VM.
EJBs should work just as well. JSPs would be another gig, and I do not
have the plugin but it looks like someone else can answer your question
there. :)
Any specific place you are getting hung up?
Steve
