Gavin commented on FOR-1220:
----------------------------
I'm going to guess this will be a non-issue as next release I imagine we'll bump minimum to 1.7.
> trouble with config variable and skins, only in WAR mode
> --------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FOR-1220
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1220
> Project: Forrest
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Launch servlet WAR, Skins (general issues)
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 0.10-dev
> Reporter: David Crossley
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.10-dev
>
>
> When using a WAR, and our provided skins, it seems that the $config (i.e. //skinconf) variable is not instantiated until it has actually been used. In a stylesheet (e.g. main/webapp/skins/pelt/xslt/html/site-to-xhtml.xsl) the $config variable is set by the imported "common" related stylesheet. The first use of the $config variable (i.e. motd) is failing in WAR mode, but all is fine in 'forrest run' and 'forrest site' modes. The fix seems to be to actually use the variable (e.g. with count() function) before trying to process it.
> This seems to be only a problem on Java 1.5 and is okay on Java 6.
