In the light of the dispatcher I happy that this came up. The old skinconf is the root cause of contracts like name="page-footer-copyright" and the consequences.

Meaning if you want to configure a contract via forrest.properties.xml (which I think should be the preferred method of configuration) you need to rewrite the contract to accept string param instead of DOM param (xml snippets). <forrest:property name="copyright.year" value="2008"/> and instead of <xsl:param name="copyright"/> you need to make the request to $default/../[EMAIL PROTECTED]'copyright.year'] salu2 > Best regards, > Sjur > -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions
