[opencms-dev] Question!!! Please REPLY!!!

[Jeff Pittman]

Just realized from an error messge that XMLTemplate resource type is not
what a template should be (at least the ones you are supposed to make in the
"hello world" example).  Should be plain page type. So, maybe that is part
of my problem at present.

Thanks,
