hm, i wasn't aware that we still have those - i remember that we
renamed those files to have an .xhtml suffix as there was a problem
with eXist serving all .xml files as documentation and piping them
through the documentation stylesheet. As a result the XFormsFilter got
the transformed html instead of the plain xml file.

We have now changed our filter mapping to only work on files located
somewhere below the 'db' collection. This allows to have both
XSLTForms and betterFORM and have them working side by side.

As i just saw we do not have a hello.xml and hello2.xml any more in
our repository. Tobi is on travel this week so i'm not completely sure
what happened to them.

I remember to have promised a howto for working with eXist and
betterFORM - of course there is a way to deploy an uncompressed
version of the JS which in turn will allow debugging. I try to get
this howto ready this week and you will find it on
http://betterform.wordpress.com.

Thanks for reporting this.
