jsp testing situation

Hello,

I have a situation where in the application server(tomcat) is sitting in a remote location. We are a team of devolper and we are sitting at a different location.

I want to test my jsp pages. When we use System.out.println(), then the message is printed at the server side.

Do we have any procedure where in we, sitting at a different locations can view the error messages or print messages or how do troubleshoot our jsp pages sitting a remote location.

Regards,
Adrian

Do you have access to the logs directory on the remote machine?

Try to make good use of custom errorpage output. You may be able to make custom exceptions that contain more information about the current state of your application and display that on a custom errorpage.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

The method that I use is generally very crude, but it solves the purpose.
I use:

out.println("<script>alert('the variable = "+varible_in_jsp+"')</script>");

This I use everywhere, where ever I want a print statement. But surely, there must be better way.

Adrian

No I do not have any log file on the remote machine.
