Alexandre, are you working with xmlui? There are multiple possible causes
for this problem.

1) Make sure your <form-map> in the input-forms.xml is really correct

<form-map>
        <name-map collection-handle="default" form-name="traditional" />
        <name-map collection-handle="123456789/3"    form-name="foo" />
        <name-map collection-handle="123456789/7"    form-name="bar" />
[. . .]
</form-map>

<form-definitions>
   <!-- the standard form -->
   <form name="traditional">
     <page number="1">
       <field>
[ . . . ]
   </form>

   <!-- this form is associated with collection 123456789/3 -->
   <form name="foo">
     <page number="1">
       <field>
[ . . . ]
   </form>

   <!-- this form is associated with collection 123456789/7 -->
   <form name="bar">
     <page number="1">
       <field>
[ . . . ]
   </form>
[ . . . ]
</form-definitions>


2) Are you modifying the correct file? Check whether you're really modifying
[dspace-src]/dspace/config/input-forms.xml
Also check if the owner and permissions of the file are correct (owner must
be the same as the other files in this directory, which usually is dspace;
one could have made a copy of the file as root and renamed it but forgot to
change the owner)


3) Is the build really happening without any errors/warnings?


4) Are you trying to work with locales (eg. input-forms_pt_BR.xml)? As far
as I know, logic for locales isn't implemented for the inputforms yet.


5) We've faced some problems with Tomcat cache. Try stopping tomcat,
cleaning the cache (depends on the version you're using; would probably be:
/var/lib/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/xmlui/cache-dir/). Start tomcat
again, clear your browser cache and reload the page.


Abraços
André
