Abstract

This invention provides a method and system for debugging hybrid source code such as JavaServer Pages (JSP) code. The method comprises the steps of running a server within a virtual machine instance; reading a hybrid source code file into a page compiler and compiling the hybrid source code to produce a servlet source code; intercepting and loading the servlet source code into a debugger, before execution by the Web server. Using an HTML browser as client to the Web server which in turn is running in the development environment to thereby debug the JSP code in real-time. In a preferred embodiment, the load class in the page compiler is replaced to redirect the compiled source to the debugger.
