The workbench offers a Variables view, which allows you to work
with variables in your J2EE and Web applications.
When a thread suspends, the top stack frame of the thread is automatically
selected. When a stack frame is selected, the visible variables in that stack
frame are displayed in the Variables view. Complex variables
can be expanded to show the elements that make up the variable. The Variables view
displays all variables for a selected stack frame.
When you are debugging
a JSP, variables in the Variables view are displayed
in the following manner:
- JSP 2.0 implicit object variables are contained in the JSP
Implicit Variables group. To view these variables, expand this
group.
- User-defined variables within the current scope are visible, but not grouped,
in the view.
- By default, original unformatted Java™ variables are hidden. To display these,
click the view's down-arrow icon and choose Show All Java Variables from
the menu. When you display unformatted Java variables, they will appear (ungrouped)
with the user-defined variables.
