Where are the generated JSP class files located?

Doubleclick the Tomcat entry in Servers tab in Eclipse. You’ll see something like this in Server Locations section:

If you haven’t changed the server path and it thus defaults to Eclipse’s workspace metadata, then the Tomcat’s /work directory is not in Tomcat’s own installation folder, but in the path as shown in the above screenshot.


Unrelated to the concrete problem, if you adhere the JSP coding recommendations and you avoid Java code in JSP altogether, then debugging will be so much easier, along with a lot of other advantages.
