[SOLVED] cloning an existing app to use as a template - xforms-bookcast

This post was updated on .

I have a very basic error which I can't pin down.
I'm trying to "clone" an existing application - xforms-bookcast - and to use this as a template for editing files for another app.

After cloning this app and renaming to .. "mynewapp" .. in /WEB-INF/resources/apps/mynewapp
I then went through the following files .. finding and replacing names ..

find: "xforms-bookcast" ... replace with "mynewapp"

atom.xpl
page-flow.xml
view.xhtml

Next I tried to launch mynewapp ..

http://localhost:8080/orbeon/mynewapp/

I can see the sandbox layout (orbeon left navigation and top banner) but the xforms app view window is totally blank when it should show an instance of a book from sample-data.xml.

The original app xforms-bookcast works fine ..

http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-bookcast/

...

I right click on the blank view to "view source" and at the <body> tag is this .. but not displayed as error in browser ..

[code]
after CSS ..
<body>

I have had this process working on another cloned app but there must be some basic editing step I'm overlooking. ======================================================= [Later Edit] I reversed my editing steps and started the find/replace strings .. one at a time .. through view.xhtml. It seems that the cloned app is working now .. I made sure that I pressed Ctrl + F5 to refresh browser view after each edit. I'm not sure what went wrong in my first attempt. =======================================================

DL,

I did a basic query-replace of "xforms-bookcast" to "mynewapp", and
things works as expected under:

http://localhost:8080/orbeon/mynewapp/

The error you are pointing at seems to indicate that maybe, when you
did the replacement, you used an editor which saved files with a
different character encoding. Make sure that your editor is able to
load and save XML files using the UTF-8 encoding.
