Servlet Question

[sandor]

I am trying to learn java servlet. If there is an web application which is a combination of java servlet and JSP and I hit the website and I want to see the flow of the program, I know in php you can put echo's to see the flow of the program how can I do that in java? that it prints on my brower so that i can see the flow of my program?

oops put this in the wrong forum. Can it get moved to servlet? thx

From my limited understanding all JSP ' s are converted to servlets and then it goes through the generic servlet life cycle.
If you want to see how the code execute you can here also add scritplets(System.out.println) which will answer your question . I think

I guess those will be printed to the console of the http server, not to the browser. For browser, you can print those to the web page for debugging purposes.

yes you are right levent , You can write to the page using the printwriter aviable from the " response.getWriter() "

Something like this....

out = response.getWriter();
out.println("I am on this.jsp page");

out is a default object which is available on each and every jsp page.
