title: how to debug web services with eclipse
body: <p>I have a very basic web service that I think is running correctly from Eclipse. Now I want to add in connections to a DB -- so I want to step thru the code to try out JDBC connections (I'm a .NET developer working this out in java).  </p>
  
  <p>Here is the (very) basic code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class PositionSkillManagementService {
      private String t;
      public void addSkill(String s){
          t="s";    //I want to add a breakpoint here. 
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think the webservice is working because when I go to this URL"<code>http://localhost:8080/TrainingSystem/services/PositionSkillManagementService</code>" I get a screen that says "Hi there, this is an AXIS service! Perhaps there will be a form for invoking the service here..."</p>
  
  <p>I want to add a breakpoint in the addskill method so I can then debug connections to the db. I have added the breakpoint in eclipse and I see the little dot showing the breakpoint is set. But I don't know how to 'get' to the breakpoint? I don't know how to tell eclipse to execute the method so I can get to the breakpoint. I'm sure this is a basic question but I'm new to the environment.</p>
  
  <p>What do I do?</p>
