Would someone please try with Tomcat on Java 1.5
As said in another thread, the "seed-sample" does
work for me on Java 6.

I have done some investigation of the abovementioned problem.
As per the error above, line 61 is the following:

59:     <title><xsl:value-of select="div[@id='content']/h1"/>
60:       <xsl:if test="$config/motd">
61:         <xsl:for-each select="$config/motd/motd-option">
62:           <xsl:choose>

This uses the "skinconf" which has been added into $config
when the "common" version of the "site-to-xhtml" stylesheet
was imported at the top of this pelt skin styleheet.
The "motd" (Message of the day) is a single optional
configuration element.

This works fine in 'forrest site' and 'forrest run' mode
and when using a WAR with Tomcat 6 on Java 6. But not
for me on Mac Leopard with Java 1.5

The following replacement for line 60 fixes the problem for me:
60:       <xsl:if test="count($config/motd) = 1">

Also strange is that after this first now successful use of $config,
the other uses further in this stylesheet now work properly,
including this similar line:
523:      <xsl:if test="$config/motd">


    ----------

Would someone please try the WAR files on a full modern Jetty server.
I have had a quick try, but not yet successful.
