Hi list,

to be able to easily test my app with both the stable Orbeon and the nightly
build, I symlinked the subdirectories of WEB-INF/resources as well as the
page-flow.xml file from the one Orbeon instance to the other. However, the
Orbeon "Virtual file system" does not seem to be able to cope with symlinks. I
get this error:

Type class org.orbeon.oxf.resources.ResourceNotFoundException
Message Cannot load "/page-flow.xml" with webapp loader
Stack Trace

org.orbeon.oxf.resources.ResourceNotFoundException: Cannot load "/page-
flow.xml" with webapp loader

Actually copying the file replaces this by other error messages, and the whole
app will only work after all files have been copied instead of symlinked.
So, is this a bug, a misconfiguration, or am I doing something else wrong?

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung
