[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: PDT / Xdebug / Multiple sub domains

[Dave <dkel50@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shawn, I am not sure I fully understand the problem. The xdebug 
implementation doesn't make use of urls for path mapping. The only time 
the url is used is when you launch the debugger for the first time. This 
then invokes that url and turns on the xdebug cookie so that the browser 
is then in debug mode. All interaction between xdebug running in the web 
server and PDT is done by absolute file name and this is what the path 
mapper uses. So you map the absolute path in the web server to your 
workspace path in PDT.

When you set a breakpoint in PDT, it can translate that to the correct 
absolute path in your server and define the correct breakpoint in the 
server. So if it is all the same code then that breakpoint will fire and 
PDT will break.

PDT autogenerates a path mapping based on the file you specify in the 
web script launch and the file that gets executed when the url is 
invoked. You can of course create your own path mappings when you define 
the server.

I hope this explanation helps.
