[Seaside] Newbie questions

Thanks a lot for answering !

Unfortunately it didn't works as expected....

I have a html file with:
<html>
    <body>
        <mytestcomponent sea:id="testing"></mytestcomponent>
    </body>
</html>

I set the "Document Root" property with the file path and I added the
"template" method you told me earlier but I got the "MessageNotUnderstood:
children"  message.

Am I doing something wrong ? or this feature is not working any more ?

Thanks,
    Pablo.-
