It must be because the resource xml file could not be read.
There is an important distinction between how the files are read:
useStyleSheet("my.css");
and
app->messageResourceBundle().use("intro");
The first call will let the web browser fetch the file "my.css". Since
this is a bare file name, the browser will interpret this as a
relative URL, and fetch the application from the same path as the
application.
The second call will let the application itself read the file
"intro.xml" (and other language variants if needed). Since this is a
bare file name, the file will be read from the current working dir.
The current working dir will depend on how the application is run. I
suspect thus that for some reason, "intro.xml" is not in your working
directory? A quick check could be to set the absolute file path
("/path/to/intro").
It is easy to mixup the semantics of URLs and local files, because Wt
does such a good job in hiding the browser-server distinction !
