Shawn,
I think you are in the
same boat I am. I have not gotten dbforms to work yet either. We can take
strength and renewed determination from the fact that the mailing list is
objective proof that it does indeed work!
Fortunately or
unfortunately, in this environment it is not fair to just ask people why it
"doesn't work". It is assumed that anyone who ventures into these waters must be
prepared to troubleshoot, including firing up Java debug tools, to figure out
what is wrong. That's how we really learn. If you want "why is it
broke" type support, or don't have time to fight the battles, then
GPL/freeware is not for you, you would do better to purchase software that
specifically comes with installation support.
Most gross problems
(like "It doesn't work") are due to classpaths and/or messed up
configuration files. I have read that tomcat supports the jdb (Java Debug)
command which may help.
I suggest you get
Eclipse, or the new Sun IDE that supports debugging, or set up and use jdb.
Google around for sample code you can use to independently test your Tomcat
installation on non-Tomcat supplied code. Get simple things to work, then work
up to dbforms.
Bill

I guess in your line

> Documents\appTMP\WEB-INF\dbforms.config.xml
either
1) dbforms.config.xml should be dbforms-config.xml
or
2) there is a path issue again with the spaces ( I am working under linux
and can't recall whether the spaces in the path are acceptable or not for
the config file). If it turns out to be the spaces, let me know so I can
update the usersGuide.
