debug servlet activator [message #99655]

I deployed a servlet
I can get to localhost:9080/app/sp_test
When I run localhost:9080/app/myServlet I get a 500
How do I debug that ? :)

Yet, it seems (using remote debug) that my Activator.start() is never hit
:(

Hi Christophe,

A 500 would normally indicate the request is reaching your servlet but an
error is occuring inside.
Try placing a break point in your Servlet's init and service method and see
what happens.

How are you contributing your servlet? via the "servlets" extension or
directly via the Http Service interface?
Is your bundle's manifest marked Eclipse-LazyStart: true ?

Simon, Thx
Sorry I do not even get the 500 :( I get the tomcat resource not found
Seems to me the resource is not even registered with the server

In any case, I will check and confirm

I use the HTTPServiceTracker (I basically copied the HelloWorld and added
my own code)
The manifest is like the hello world one:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Server Logger
Bundle-SymbolicName: org.eclipse.server.logger
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-Activator: org.eclipse.server.logger.Activator
Bundle-Localization: plugin
Import-Package: javax.servlet,
javax.servlet.http,
org.osgi.framework;version="1.3.0",
org.osgi.service.http;version="1.2.0",
org.osgi.util.tracker;version="1.3.1"
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.osgi.util,
org.eclipse.osgi,
org.eclipse.core.runtime

Thanks for the help :)

I suspect your bundle is not started as that's when the registering occurs.
There are a couple of fairly easy things you might try:
1) If you're just testing things out I'd suggest using the console to
explicitly start your bundle.
2) add your bundle in config.ini (and @start it)
3) use the "servlets" extension.

In most cases I'd suggest (3) as it promotes lazy activation of your
bundles.

A few days ago Eike Stepper made a post about using an IApplication to
manage the lifecycle of a server-side application and I agree. In an
application where using the "servlets" extension is not sufficient this is a
good path to investigate.

Nah, no luck, unless I did something wrong :(
I tried #3 and #2, same error in tomcat
What is weird is that I can see the bundles under the bridge app when I do
'ss'
But I cannot see the one in my application :(

Do we have a trace i could start ? Or should I put my debugger in a certain
class ?

Thanks again :)

Simon helped me
1) I removed the bridge application
2) I modified the web.xml of my application as follow:

<init-param>
<param-name>enableFrameworkControls</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>commandline</param-name>
<param-value>-console -consolelog</param-value>
</init-param>

When I started my Tomcat I finally saw the exception involving *MY* code :)
Now I am working on fixing it :)
