Well derby will create the db with the credentials you provide and of

You can run Derby in embedded mode too when you use tools like Aqua  
Datastudio or DbVisualizer, just provide the same connection  
parameters. You'll have to shut down the web application before  
though, I think.

Re: [Rife-users] ENGINEHTML and xhtml dtd in html file

2005-12-17 Thread Raoul Pierre


How do you propose to indicate that the properties file should be   
interpreted in xhtml enabled or disabled mode?


by choosing the right encoder when a template is instanciated by an  
element, with:
- a parameter (L10N_XHTML_ENABLED_RESOURCEBUNDLE?) in config to  
specify the default behavior of the application (and by default  
"default", xhtml enabled)

- each element can overwrite this parameter with its own property



That doesn't work since you'll get threading issues. The config is  
shared throughout the entire application. So if you modify it in the  
middle of a certain element, another element might modify it again  
before you even used it.


OK. So don't "overwrite" the config parameter:
- each element will check if a L10N_XHTML_ENABLED_RESOURCEBUNDLE 
property is available
- if not it will check if a L10N_XHTML_ENABLED_RESOURCEBUNDLE parameter 
is available in config

- if not it will use the actual behavior.

Re: [Rife-users] ENGINEHTML and xhtml dtd in html file

2005-12-17 Thread Raoul Pierre

Geert,



 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1- 
transitional.dtd">



Ok, but that doesn't really matter, does it? 


There is a little difference about ' which is defined in xhtml but 
not in html. Atm StringUtils.encodeHtml doesn't encode it.


Both engine types behave  the same except for resolving the template 
name with a file name  extension.


Yes


May be it's possible to do both of them:
- for any element or template,  to give the choice between with or  
without html tags/entities capabilities
- even in the case "without html tags/entities", to be able to use  
them with escaping, like

  summary-legend = XHTML Transitional 1.0\\Fragment
  body-help = \\Vous pouvez saisir ici  
le texte complet de la "nouvelle". Seul \
du texte XHTML valide est acceptable.\ 
\



I'm not so sure about this. You'll still have to educate people that  
they have to escape these character with a custom RIFE method.


Yes.

In my  opinion, it's much better for them to know how to escape the  
characterd that encodeDefensive doesn't handle in a standard xhtml  
way. At least they already know it correctly.


My concern is to manage properties files with as few as possible code 
rules in them:
- here, in addition to the specify rules of properties files (dynamic 
value, unicode, eol...), by default you must know at least the html 
codage of these characters
- if you want to use these files in a not web context, you must then 
filter such html code.


Also, check out the  frequency. How often do you add <>&"' to text. 
It's actually just  really once in a while.


But it's something very nasty to deal with. And not so rare in language 
as french, with apostrophe and quotations


 When you have xhtml enabled properties,  you'll have a lot more 
characters for the tags. So imho this custom  escaping might actually 
be more work.


Yes.

I think we should have the best of the two, as wanted:
- separation of concern ( :-) I succeeded to place it!), i.e. "pure" 
text: if xhtml tags are needed, then escape <>&" with something like "\\"
- xhtml enabled: <>&"' as literals must be escaped with xhtml entity 
references

Re: [Rife-users] ENGINEHTML and xhtml dtd in html file

2005-12-17 Thread Geert Bevin
No, it's used when you do getHtmlTemplate from within your  
element.  Using getXhtmlTemplate gives you an ENGINEXHTML type.


Sorry I was not clear enough. The point is neither about html or  
xhtml file suffix nor about ENGINEHTML or ENGINEXHTML instances:  
it's always EncoderHtml which is used.


Yes, which provides exactly the functionality that the enginexhtml  
need too.



What do you  mean with the dtd?


Even in files with html suffixe, it can be xhtml code, e.g. in src/ 
templates/crud/common/blueprint_admin.html, you have:


 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1- 
transitional.dtd">


Ok, but that doesn't really matter, does it? Both engine types behave  
the same except for resolving the template name with a file name  
extension.


- AbstractTemplate.evaluateL10nTags uses   
EncoderHtml.encodeDefensive and not EncoderHtml.encodeDefensive  
to  convert string,

  that is StringUtils.encodeHtmlDefensive
- this last method doesn't convert "<", "&", ">", "'" and """

So, for html files with xhtml dtd and for xhtml files, we can  
have  trouble when any of the above characters is present in a  
key's  value, e.g. double quote used in an attribute's value:  
then the end  of the value is not displayed.



I'm not fully following, can you give an example?


For exemples:

1/ put some < character inside element body like: Take xthen..., the tag will be
2/  a buttom wich must display text with quotation inside as: Liste  
des "canailles", the tag will be
3/ if simple quote is used for an attribut and the text is:  
S'inscrire, then the tag will be

4/ with value as "Rire & pleurer"


Ok, yeah, of course I know about all this. One of the reasons that  
encodeDefensive has been created is to make the life of people that  
don't know anything about html entity encoding better. You an then  
simply provide html editing capabilities to your customer, without  
them needed to encode all the entities before it's considered valid.


For property files, it's a different story, I agree.

Is there any reason against to used EncoderHtml.encodeDefensive  
in  all the cases.


Yes, if you want to make sure that no html tags or entities can  
be  provided at all through form fields.



OK

I never used such possibilities. I put only "pure" text in  
properties files: anybody can translate them without knowing  
anything in codage.


Is the choice only between:
- to be able to provide html tags ans entities from properties files
- to be able to use "<", "&", ">", "'" and """ caracters  for  
attribute or element values.


May be it's possible to do both of them:
- for any element or template,  to give the choice between with or  
without html tags/entities capabilities
- even in the case "without html tags/entities", to be able to use  
them with escaping, like

  summary-legend = XHTML Transitional 1.0\\Fragment
  body-help = \\Vous pouvez saisir ici  
le texte complet de la "nouvelle". Seul \
du texte XHTML valide est acceptable.\ 
\


I'm not so sure about this. You'll still have to educate people that  
they have to escape these character with a custom RIFE method. In my  
opinion, it's much better for them to know how to escape the  
characterd that encodeDefensive doesn't handle in a standard xhtml  
way. At least they already know it correctly. Also, check out the  
frequency. How often do you add <>&"' to text. It's actually just  
really once in a while. When you have xhtml enabled properties,  
you'll have a lot more characters for the tags. So imho this custom  
escaping might actually be more work.


Best regards,

Geert
