> I think there was consensus in the bug entry that while we may need some kind of "special" syntax for loading multiple web flow files, we should not overload that problem with the Spring classpath*: syntax that has a different purpose.

I guess I should admit that I'm not part of that consensus, but I'd
have to think about why a little more to be able to explain.

> Related to this, using classpath*: for idp.home breaks the testbed on Windows because that's not a legal pathname (the testbed is sort of hacky and creates a directory by that name inside the tree).

I believe that directory creation is Logback. We pass idp.home from
Spring's context to Logback's in LogbackLoggingService.

> I think replacing the use of classpath*: to get the flow tests to work should kill both birds, as long as we use an expression that is actually a legal path.

Okay, I'm on-board. What do you have in mind ?
