Thanks Neil -
I am having a problem with mallow. the problem i am seeing in the
synchronization of the manifests. the path mallow writes in the file element
is not correct -the directory is an exploded war and hence the correct name
is something like "app.war" but the path that mallow writes omits the .war
and just writes the path as "app"
eg -
<Component DiskId="1" Guid="4EF96CCA"
Id="ad_imagesDefaultSpriteFormatIcons_gif">
**CORRECT*** <File Id="ad_imagesDefaultSpriteFormatIcons_gif"
KeyPath="yes" Name="spriteFormatIcons.gif" ShortName="SPRITE_1.GIF"
Source="_temp\admin.war\images\default\spriteFormatIcons.gif"/>
</Component>
<Component DiskId="1" Guid="B" Id="ad_imagesDefaultSw_cccccc_gif">
**INCORRECT** <File Id="ad_imagesDefaultSw_cccccc_gif"
KeyPath="yes" Name="sw_cccccc.gif" ShortName="SW_CCC_1.GIF"
Source="_temp\admin\images\default\sw_cccccc.gif"/>
</Component>
any suggestions on how to fix this? this is interfering the the automation
of the build. thanks
