Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-272: ----------------------------------------- Fixed in Rev. 631155 for the JavaScriptEngineFactory dropping support for the .js extension and adding support for the .ecma extension. > Change default server-side JavaScript extension > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-272 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-272 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Scripting > Reporter: Felix Meschberger > Assignee: Felix Meschberger > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > > As discussed on the dev list [1], the server-side file extension for > JavaScript sources should be changed. Currently it is ".js", which is also > used to identify client-side JavaScript to be run in browsers. To prevent > collisions in both server-side script execution support and human > recognization, the server-side file extension should be changed. > Two options are at discussion: .ecma or .es. As .es reminds me of the > two-letter country code of Spain (yes, this a human brain thing, not > technical ...), I would actually prefer .ecma. This also leans to wards the > official name of the language ECMAScript. > In addition, it alligns well with the jsp extension: "jsp" is short for "java > server pages", where java is also used as a file extension for source code. > For JavaScript it is "esp" for "ECMAScript server pages" and "ecma" for the > plain language source code. > [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/sling-dev@incubator.apache.org/msg02830.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
