Hi,
I faced this problem by myself. In my opinion the whole registry will be
rewritten on shutdown of Tomcat (or maybe during the execution of Jetspeed).
The thing is that the castor framework deletes the old file and creates a
completely new file. It uses the information to create the tags from the
specification in the file registry.xml. There variables and class are tied
to tags.
So if you have a tag that the castor framework doesn't know, it might skip
it during writing this file. In my case I lost the xml comments I filled
into the xreg files.
Example:
I had a file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<registry>
<!-- This is a test of my very own and personal skin -->
<skin-entry name="my_own_skin" hidden="false">
<!-- I choose my own textcolor -->
<property name="text-color" value="#00FF00" hidden="false" />
<!-- I choose my own backgroundcolor -->
<property name="background-color" value="#ff00ff" hidden="false" />
</skin-entry>
</registry>
It will be rewritten as that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<registry>
<skin-entry name="my_own_skin" hidden="false">
<property name="text-color" value="#00FF00" hidden="false" />
<property name="background-color" value="#ff00ff" hidden="false" />
</skin-entry>
</registry>
hope that helps
Matt
