## Oracle JDeveloper Support for OracleJSP

Visual Java programming tools are beginning to support JSP coding. In particular, Oracle JDeveloper supports OracleJSP and includes the following features (as of JDeveloper release 3.1):

- integration of the OracleJSP container to support the full application development cycle--editing, debugging, and running JSP pages

- debugging of deployed JSP pages

- an extensive set of data-enabled and Web-enabled JavaBeans, known as JDeveloper Web beans

- the JSP Element Wizard, which offers a convenient way to add predefined Web beans to a page

- support for incorporating custom JavaBeans

- a deployment option for JSP applications that rely on the JDeveloper Business Components for Java (BC4J)

See "Deployment of JSP Pages with JDeveloper" for more information about JSP deployment support.

For debugging, JDeveloper can set breakpoints within JSP page source and can follow calls from JSP pages into JavaBeans. This is much more convenient than manual debugging techniques, such as adding print statements within the JSP page to output state into the response stream (for viewing in the your browser) or to the server log (through the `log()` method of the implicit `application` object).

For information about JDeveloper, refer to their online help, particularly the topic "Creating JSP Pages for Business Components".
