Hi, I use Visual Age for Java .
When I need to debug Tomcat stuff, I load Tomcat through VA, and then set break points. And I I configure Visual Age appropriately, I cen even go into the Tomcat implementation... However, I test all my stuff on Tomcat/Sun JRE. That's because code that works within VA won't necessarily work in the Sun JRE. Have'nt figured out why yet.
