With your pull request applied to my fork I get an error from ERXProperties:
ERXProperties.java’s applyConfiguration() :
configLog.error("The optional configuration file '{}' either does not exist or
cannot be read.", file);
The error looks like this:
[2026-01-26 12:37:02,919] <main> ERROR
er.extensions.foundation.ERXConfigurationManager - The optional configuration
file
'/Users/a07290a/Dev/repos/ehcm/WebApps/Phynance/target/Phynance.woa/file:/Users/a07290a/Dev/repos/ehcm/WebApps/Phynance/target/Phynance.woa/Contents/Resources/Java/wonder/ajax/Ajax/7.3.5/Ajax-7.3.5.jar!/Resources/Properties'
either does not exist or cannot be read.
Do you see any other changes in ERXProperties’ applyConfiguration(…) method to
support? It seems to be using File class, at least in my fork of wonder.
Thanks
Ricardo
