Jean-Christophe Kermagoret commented on COCOON-1727: ---------------------------------------------------- I don't understand very well the rules that make things stable or unstable. Ok, I'm using CForms for 2 years now (woody included) and I may understand what is saying above. But, I suggest to provide a compatibility workaround that permits to avoid to change code for people who consider CForms block stable enough. For example, we could imagine a compatibility attribute in the widget definition that permit to avoid the test I mentioned above. <fd:field id="fake.dtstart" compatibility="old-naming-scheme"> ... If you agree, I will be happy to provide the corresponding patch. > CForms do not allow anymore dots '.' in widget id > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-1727 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1727 > Project: Cocoon > Type: Bug > Components: Blocks: Forms > Reporter: Jean-Christophe Kermagoret > Priority: Blocker > > I just can't use my forms anymore in 2.2 version because I use dots in my > widget id. Unfortunately, I usually use the widget id to create the > corresponding xml element name, and xml element names may contain dots '.' > The code in AbstractDefinitionBuilder says it does not permit '.' because of > path conflicts. Is it true, and in that case in which part of the code ? Or > is it just a precaution ? This may oblige developers to change a lot of > things in their forms and code related, which is not a very good news :-( if > they want to use 2.2 > I should suggest to remove the dot test, or to add compatibility test, that > should permit to keep the old naming scheme. -- 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
