"Why cannot use slash(/) in activity name" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/545240#545240 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi guys, It is totally weird, that jPDL didn't allow using slash(/) in activity name. I searched though XML specification and there is no limitation for this. And, there is no such limitation for transition name, only for activity name. Now our customer's process need put a slash(/) in an activity name, I went to do some demostration, Every designing stuff are all right. Then when I try to deploy the process, it tell me the process is invalid. It is horrible. So I really want to know, is there any reason that we shouldn't use slash(/) in activity name? Because if this rule is not necessary, I didn't want to tell our customers that they must change their process to remove all of slash(/). Here is the validation in JpdlBinding.java public void parseName(Element element, ActivityImpl activity, Parse parse) { String name = XmlUtil.attribute(element, "name", isNameRequired(), parse); if (name!=null) { // basic name validation if ("".equals(name)) { parse.addProblem(XmlUtil.errorMessageAttribute(element, "name", name, "is empty"), element); } else if (name.indexOf('/')!=-1) { parse.addProblem(XmlUtil.errorMessageAttribute(element, "name", name, "contains slash (/)"), element); } activity.setName(name); } } -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/545240#545240] Start a new discussion in jBPM Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&containerType=14&container=2035]
