Abstract
A web server system selectively supplements dynamically-generated web pages with coding that allows developers and other authorized users to identify, and access remotely-stored information about, the executable server components used to generate such web pages. In one embodiment, the web server system includes a trace utility that monitors the dynamic generation of a requested web page. The trace utility outputs a mapping structure that maps components of the web page to corresponding server components that were invoked. The mapping structure is embedded within the web page along with code that is executable by an ordinary web browser to allow a user to interactively view associations between the page components and the executed server components. The system also provides restricted access to development and maintenance documents and functionality associated with the executable components.
