I have deployed a Spring MVC application on Tomcat server(eclipse IDE). The application comes up fine but some data is added to list.So wanted to debug . I have added debug points and did "Debug on server" ,the server started in debug mode but it says : Source not found.in the debug view.The control doesnot come to code in application code.

Very new to java programming , so I am sure not what i have asked is a silly question .Please help me.Let me know if i need more details.

Note I donot use maven or anything like that.

Thanks Siddhi

Follow the steps given below:

  1. Start the Tomcat server instance from within Eclipse;
  2. After the server instance has started, open the Debug view. Make sure that the running threads of the application are visible in the view in a hierarchical tree-like structure. The application name should be at the top in this hierarchy;
  3. Stop the Tomcat server instance. The name of the application should still be visible in the Debug view;
  4. Right click the application name and choose Edit Source Lookup;
  5. Select the application root directory as one of the locations where Eclipse should look for the source code;
  6. Start Tomcat server instance again.

After the instance has come up, you should be able to debug your source code just fine.
