Should I be able to run Orbeon-Form-Builder-Generated-Form with Java Application,
i.e. Copy the source of the Form into a simple.JSP (using separate deployment as mentioned in http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-with-java-applications) ?
I found that the evaluation of $form-resources fails. Why ?
simple.jsp XML

The code to support Form Runner in separate deployment was pushed after the 3.9 release. As of this writing, 3.9 is the latest release, so at points you’ll need to use a nightly build for this.
