Hi,

Sorry for the cross-post. Perhaps the dev list was the wrong place to send this one.

I'm working to recreate a custom Forrest 0.7 skin with the 0.8-dev dispatcher.

I started by modifying the blank contract template to get some test output. I encounter the following error message:

---
dispatcherError: 500 - Internal server error
The contract "content" has thrown thrown an exception by resolving raw data from "cocoon://index.body.xml".

dispatcherErrorStack:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
---

When I inspect the result of index.body.xml, I can see why it's complaining. The root element of the output is the empty tag <meta-data/>, followed by the content. In 0.7 the skin's document-to-html (or document2html) stylesheet inserted the meta-data tag; what's doing it now? Is the skin system still active when using the dispatcher? I'm not sure how the dispatcher interacts with skins. I don't have a skin set in forrest.properties for this test.

Thanks,
Brian
