Summary: Spindle mishandles projects with missing app files

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I'm using eclipse 3.1, with spindle 3.2.0. Spindle
reports an error on my servlet XML:

  	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>hangman1</servlet-name>
<!--  Spindle error here -->    
<servlet-class>org.apache.tapestry.ApplicationServlet</servlet-class>
	    <init-param>
	     
<param-name>org.apache.tapestry.visit-class</param-name>
	      <param-value>hangman1.Visit</param-value>
	    </init-param>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>						
	</servlet>

saying that the servlet path can not be found. This
class is available since I'm using the plugin with the
libraries it provides.

All this is running on Windows XP professional version.

Thanks.

Regards Pablo.

Good news. There is a bug! While I track down the root
cause, here's a the symptom and a workaround.

Tapestry does not require one to have a .application file.
At runtime, if Tapestry can't find one then it will create a
standin application specification and go from there.
Hangman1 falls into this case.

Recently I refactored the code that processes web.xml and,
well, I guess I screwed up as the above case is not handled
correctly.

To work around the problem you need to add a Tapestry
.application file called "hangman1.application" to a folder
called "hangman1" like this...

TapestryInAction/hangman1/context/WEB-INF/hangman1/hangman1.application

The file can be pretty much empty..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC
  "-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry Specification
3.0//EN"
  "http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_3_0.dtd">
<!-- generated by Spindle, http://spindle.sourceforge.net -->

<application name="hangman1"> 
    
</application>

Try installing 3.2.1 and see if that makes any difference.
