What you can do is check if Alfresco reads the .xml files at startup. So add some characters outside tags to see if Alfresco gives an error. If it does not, that means that there is another file around there (maybe in a .jar).</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 13:18:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-aspects-what-am-i-doing-wrong/m-p/202104#M155234 libman 2008-11-25T13:18:42Z
