How to debug problem in TestDynaActionForm class?

["David M. Karr" <dm...@earthlink.net>]

I just decided to start looking at the unit tests, in order to look into
updating the Struts-EL test cases.

After just doing an update, and executing "test.tomcat.41" (with Tomcat-4.1.18
on Win2k), I get the following (I added a "println" of the form property, just
in case):

-------------

So, I'm first trying to understand why this failing, but I'd also like to be
able to set up my debugger so that I can look at these issues a little closer.

My basic problem is that I can't figure out which "java" command line to change
to add the "-Xdebug" flag (and others).  For this, I thought it might be the
"java" task in the "start.tomcat.41" target in the "build-tests.xml" script.
This doesn't appear to be it, however, as my breakpoints in the test class go
unbroken, even though it hit my added println statement.

I know it got to the "java" command line that I changed, because it paused,
waiting for a debugger to connect to it.  Once I had my debugger connect, it
went on, but it never hit my breakpoints in the test class.
