java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: Unable to parse document 'jndi:/server/TestFlowsWithEmpyFlowDef/flow1/flow1-flow.xml': null
I understand it should be a fixed issue but am still getting it.

and the flow in question is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flow xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow
http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow/spring-webflow-2.3.xsd">
<view-state id="home" view="/fused/index" />
</flow>
[EDIT]
I found the parent-flow.xml in the nb-configuration.xml
<spring-data xmlns="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/spring-data/1">
<config-files>
<config-file>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/parent-flow.xml</config-file>
</config-files>
<config-file-groups>
<config-file-group name="Default Group"/>
</config-file-groups>
</spring-data>
I removed it and now everything goes back to normal. i am left questioning how they got there

Answer 1

removing the entries in the nb-configuration.xml did not solve the problem, changing the flow registry from //-flow.xml to something like //-flw.xml did.
