widget.properties's widget.verbose setting has precedence over web.xml's widgetVerbose setting. So you can't use parameters.widgetVerbose to override widget.verbose to false. Is ModelWidget.widgetBoundaryCommentsEnabled() written this way for
some reasons?


The widget.verbose setting worked correctly originally, but a committer didn't understand its behavior and changed it:

http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Re-svn-commit-r961684-ofbiz-trunk-framework-widget-src-org-ofbiz-widget-ModelWidget-java-tt2282062.html#none

Now the setting is unusable.

Another issue is that these HTML boundary comments get outputted even though the view handler is set to "screencsv". In the widget-screen.xsd, the only way to invoke a template to produce CSV is using <html><html-template />, but this always adds HTML comments even if the output is CSV (see HtmlWidget class). Maybe we could introduce a <csv> element or something like that?


If the widget.verbose code was put back to the way it was, then you would be able to turn off the boundary comments when rendering csv.


Anyway, both of those problems combined mean that there are no apparent clean ways to remove the HTML "template begin/end" boundary comments from the CSV output if you try to draw it with an *.ftl template. A workaround kludge for now is to invoke the FTL manually through a Groovy script.
