I had the same problem.. After struggling for 2 days I figured out that the embedded jetty loads the hosted.html file form cache (C: \Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 - on windows xp) - after manually deleting that cache everything started working normally.
Hope this saves somebody else at least 2 days :) On Aug 12, 5:52 pm, Ray Ryan <[email protected]> wrote: > We could make the error message a bit more helpful.
