Using deployment plan to change virtual directory mapping

Question

Hi all,
Have anyone tried this before?
I have a deployment plan to add virtual directory to my weblogic descriptors as follow:
Inside <variable-definitions> tag:
<variable>
      <name>LocalPath</name>
      <value>C:/</value>
    </variable>
    <variable>
      <name>VirtualPath</name>
      <value>/Temp/*</value>
    </variable> Then in to add the virtual directory to weblogic.xml:
<module-descriptor external="false">
      <root-element>weblogic-web-app</root-element>
      <uri>WEB-INF/weblogic.xml</uri>
      <variable-assignment>
         <name>LocalPath</name>
         <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/local-path</xpath>
      </variable-assignment>
      <variable-assignment>
         <name>VirtualPath</name>
         <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/url-pattern</xpath>
         <operation>add</operation>
      </variable-assignment>
    </module-descriptor>But I have this error:
Error VALIDATION PROBLEMS WERE FOUND C:\Users\Napoleon\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\upload\ReviewApp\app\planplan.xml:0: problem: cvc-complex-type.2.4c: Expected element 'url-pattern@http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app' before the end of the content in element virtual-directory-mapping@http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app:<C:\Users\Napoleon\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\upload\ReviewApp\app\planplan.xml>
I also tried using the xpath for url-pattern as followed:
<xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/[local-path="C:/"]/url-pattern</xpath>
But I have the same error. The <url-patter> element is not added correctly to the virtual directory mapping tag.
It is supposed to work. Anyone has done this before ? or is this a bug of deployment plan.
Thank you very much.
Regards
K.

Hi Jay,
I have looked at your link and modified my plan.xml accordingly ( the original plan is automatically generated by weblogic ). But I still get the same error. Could you have a look and tell me what's wrong?
