Hi Michael (& Peter), Instructions for setting up DSpace debugging in NetBeans are available on our wiki:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/IDE+Integration+-+DSpace+and+NetBeans#IDEIntegration-DSpaceandNetBeans-DebugDSpaceWebAppusingTomcatIntegration See specifically the stuff under the *third* bullet point. To get everything working right, you must set the "dspace.dir" property (for Dspace 3 and above) or "dspace.config" (for DSpace 1.8.x and below). It's a one time configuration, but you need to perform it on each Webapp you want to debug (XMLUI, JSPUI, etc.) - Tim On 5/31/2013 7:21 PM, Peter Dietz wrote: > Hi Michael. > > I've never actually solved that part of development.
