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.
