My project uses servlet-api.jar. When debugging, I wanted to step
into its classes (such as HttpServlet) but I got "Source code not
available". I found what I thought was the source athttps://sdlc4e.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/DownloadPage:~:com.sun....

However, when I did "Attach Source" from the debugger, i found that
the source line numbers did not actually correspond to what's in my
version of servlet-api.jar. I tried adding the relevant source code
directory to my project, but that messed me up somehow... I get a
ClassNotFound error on a class that's in my own project.

Help! How do I step through servlet-api.jar ?

servlet-api is implemented by your J2EE application container, so it
depends on which one you are using. If your using resin, look at
there website, if you're using JBoss, look there, etc...

I'm using WebSphere... is that the container?- Hide quoted text -

Yes, it would be the container. Also, unless you're running websphere
in-process with the debugger or doing remote debugging, you may not be
able to dive deep into container API.

OK, but where do I get the correct source code, and what do I do with
it?

The real question is, are you sure you need to go into it? Perhaps
there is a way for you to debug your program without knowing the
containers source-code.
