Hi,

I have just started migrating to a recent nightly build (Orbeon Forms 3.9.0.pre.201102150400 CE), but have encountered a problem in that 3.9 no longer seems to handle the instance-passing="forward" attribute of the action element in a page-flow.

Previously I was using "orbeon-3.8.0.rc1.201005041622-CE" and this successfully forwards to another page, and crucially without changing the URL in the browser address bar. However under the nightly build when selecting a page that does a "forward" to another page the target page does not seem to be found. Instead a wrong path seems to be generated containing the "context" name rather than the "app" name which causes a page not found error.

I have attached a minimal example of an application that shows up the problem. For reference I am running this under Tomcat 6.0.32 and the example just needs the libs from the Orbeon 3.9.0 pre release copying into the "lib" directory. Once deployed navigate to:

http://localhost:8080/test-pf/test

then select each of the links from the index to the summary page. The version with "forward" seems to fail.

Any thoughts on how I can get this working again? Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Neil
