[opencms-dev] Inclusion loop error while going through the HowTos

Wed Oct 27 22:41:57 CEST 2004

Greetings everybody,

I'm pretty new to using OpenCMS. I'm using version 5.0 because the site will
go live in about a month.  I know everyone is having fun and more interested
in version 6.0 but I could use a few pointers.  I've been working my way
through the Howto documents.  I cannot get the basic jsp hot to to work.  I
am getting a Resource loader error.  The description is Dected inclusion
loop for target '........./form1.jsp'.   Here are my very simple pages.
Could someone please glance at them and let me know what I'm doing wrong.
there are people in the archives with similar problems, but I couldnt find a
resolution.  Any help would be much appreciated.
