install view command broken?

[liquidcool]

I'm getting the following error when trying to install a new view:

roo> web mvc install view --path /register --title Register --viewName registrationForm
Created SRC_MAIN_WEBAPP\WEB-INF\views\register

Googling seemed to suggest this might be a Xerces bug, perhaps you're using an old version?

Hmm, works for me:

Can you share a bit of information around your setup? (OS, Roo version, JDK, etc)

I can't reproduce this with either 1.1.2, 1.1.3 or the latest 1.1.4 snapshot release using JDK 1.6.0_24. What JDK are you using?

[liquidcool]

Thanks for the response. I'm running Roo 1.1.2 on Win7. I've tried this with JDK 1.6_20 and now JDK 1.6_24 and get the same error on both. I've also tried via roo.sh on Cygwin (my usual choice) and roo.bat on the command prompt.

However, I found it works fine on one project (basic pizza shop), but not on my main project. Both are simple apps, though. Could a dependency in the app affect Roo?

[Stefan Schmidt]

I will have to try this on a Windows install later tonight to verify. In the meantime can you please try the same command without the slash?:

roo> web mvc install view --path register --title Register --viewName registrationForm
