Subject: Re: Building Forrest 2
<snip>
I really am trying to do too many things tonight (the Ashes have start
as well, so that's me out of the real world for 5 days)
It's in
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/trunk/whiteboard/forrest2/core/src/co
re/org/apache/forrest/core/Controller.java?revision=477949&view=markup
The CLI calls the default constructor which calls
this("src/locationmap.xml", "src/forrestContext.xml");
The file resolution is in the parameterised constructor and consists of
two parts:
final File file = new File(contextPath);
and
this.context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(file
.getAbsolutePath());
(contextPath in the first line is the "src/forrestContext.xml")
The problem is that getAbsolutePath() should be getPath().
I've made the change, please test.

Just got round to trying this and mine fails :-

Now there is a useful error message! It has been improved in the latest
SVN, I think, but if you did an SVN up then obviously not.
Anyway, I just tried the "Getting Started" instructions word for word
and reproduced the error you report. I must have broken something in my
recent work. All the automated tests run, but the getting started
instructions do not.
I'll look at this ASAP, but it won't be for a few days.
If you are interested in looking into the problem the key is:

(note the improved error messages in the latest version)
It looks like the reader is unable to find the source document, but it
is finding a potential match in the locationmap.
Three possibilities immediately jump to mind:
- the reader is not finding the resource (perhaps it is not being copied
into the classpath by the build system - it's not copyless yet)
- the reader is incorrectly loading the source document (I've done lots
of refactoring of the readers and internal docs recently, so this could
be the case - need to add better log messages to the readers to trace
this - or step through with a debugger)
- The locationmap is not being resolved correctly and hence the reader
is looking in the wrong place (again need to improve logging in the reader)
You understand I'm not asking you to debug this, just documenting the
potential issues in an attempt to help build an understanding of how
things work internally.
