I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 and debugging with a variety of JVMs from late 1.4s to 1.6+ -I'm finding that the mouseover popups or watch variables frequently evaluate variables as null in, say, some page method, but then if I follow the debugger through to the service / DAO layer I can get a correct value for the variable in a popup / watch - this is ex. a parameter that may be assigned in a page method and then passed to the service layer, and so has not been reassigned between the page and the service method. This is becoming a real PITA - I wasted about 2 hours yesterday scratching my head about why some entity wasn't being set in a page by a BEF as the debugger displayed it as null, when in fact the real problem was down to a database issue, and BEF was setting the value as expected.
Does this debugging issue ring a bell with anyone? Any workarounds? Is it down to using T5 annotations on methods and them being instrumented? Regards, Jim.
