Modifying the orbeon-resources-private.jar files causes white screen

Question

I am trying to create my own custom components in orbeon.

I have been following the steps from the documentation and it said to unzip the jar file 'orbeon-resources-private' I did that and done what I needed to do inside the folder. I then zip it back up into a jar file and copy back over to orbeon.

When I start orbeon back up all i get is a white screen. I check the console and see I am getting a GET 404 not found. What the hell.

Next I put the original jar back and it worked again. So now I unzipped the jar and just zipped it back up again. (Surely that will work). Nothing, still a white screen.

Why cant I put another jar bar the original to get it working.

(I have tried creating jar from command line, zipping it and changing file extension, just adding .jar to a folder, all dont work.)

Could really use some insight to this...

Thanks

Which documenation page are you referring to?

I don't know why you would want to modify the orbeon-resources-private.jar.

You can put your own components into WEB-INF/resources or you can configure another path as documented in Overriding or adding resources without changing Orbeon Forms.
