I have a couple of html forms that are located in the web/module/resources/htmlforms directory, and I am trying to load them using the HTMLFormUtil class in an activator just like the Reference Application
Currently I am referencing the modules as “modulename:htmlforms/formname.xml” but this raises a null pointer exception when accessing the form in the module activator. I have checked on the file system and the module omod is expanded so the files are present on the filesystem.
