Jean-Baptiste Quenot reassigned COCOON-1775: -------------------------------------------- Assign To: Jean-Baptiste Quenot > LdapTransformer: LDAP attributes may not contain ";" > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-1775 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1775 > Project: Cocoon > Type: Bug > Components: Blocks: Naming > Versions: 2.1.8 > Reporter: Antonio Fiol > Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Quenot > > I found a case where the LDAP attribute name is: > description;lang-en > LDAPTransformer tries to create an element such as: > <ldap:description;lang-en>something</ldap:description;lang-en> > This is not valid XML and causes an exception. > In fact, this attribute naming scheme complies both with RFC 2596 [1] and RFC > 2252 [2], so the behaviour of LDAPTransformer is somehow wrong. > Three possible approaches: > - Investigate further on the meaning of name;something other than > name;lang-something and try to map that into meaningful XML attributes. > e.g. description;lang-en --> <ldap:description xml:lang="en"> > - Split the attribute name at the first ";" and put the rest as an attribute. > For example, the attribute could be called "attrs". > e.g. description;lang-en --> <ldap:description attrs="lang-en"> > - Remove the ";" character or change it into something else. > e.g. description;lang-en --> <ldap:description_lang-en> > IMHO the third approach is the worst because it defeats the LDAP purpose of > ";" which is to specify a characteristic of what is specified before. And I > don't have a strong opinion whether the first approach is better than the > second or vice-versa. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
