In general the locationmap does work properly. Lots of testing was done prior to the 0.8 release. > In a newly seeded site the link at the bottom of > > http://localhost:8888/samples1/locationmap/index.html > > is *not* rewritten but points to "lm:rewrite.index" which gives a > browser error (sth. like "protocol 'lm' unknown). Hmmm. There was a kerfuffle in the past about this particular issue. Search the mail archives about FOR-876. And the error is shown on the Forrest zone testing: http://forrest.zones.apache.org and see "forrest-seed". At one stage we worked on it at a ForrestFriday IRC session (around June 2006) and it seemed to be fixed. Now it is broken again and the error does not seem to be reported. -David > Do I need to "activate" the locationmap somewhere? > Do I need to add some matches to sitemap.xmap? > > As I gathered from > http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_90/locationmap.html > the project's locationmap in > ...\fseed-HEAD\src\documentation\content > should handle all requests that do not have a physical file present > within the project (folder "xdoc"). > > Is that so?
