Grzegorz Kossakowski (aka g[R]eK) commented on COCOON-1727: ----------------------------------------------------------- Actually, Forms block is unstable and this incompatibility change is acceptable. Moreover, it was discussed and justified see [1] and [2]. I think the only way is to map your element names into widget ids differently or change them. I know it may be hard task, but revert of this change prevents developers from working on futher development of forms block. This is _my_ point of view and ask on dev maillist if you wish.

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
