Debugging Servlets

• Look at the HTML source.  You can often find errors here.
• Use the sendError() method of the HttpServletResponse to send the error to the client.
• Start the server from the command line, so you can directly see the statements written to System.out.println or System.err.println.
• Generate log entries via HttpServlet.log.
• Use the GET method to trace the values passed to the server.
• Stop and restart the server.
