http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5050 Taglib prefix cannot contain '-' character Summary: Taglib prefix cannot contain '-' character Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.1 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Jasper AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tomcat 4.0.1 Final does not permit hyphens in the "prefix" when a tag library is used from a JSP page; I believe this should be possible. Section JSP.2.10.2 of the JSP 1.2 final spec says: A prefix must follow the naming convention specified in the XML namespaces specification The XML namespaces specification, in turn, has these things to say: QName ::= (Prefix ':')? LocalPart Prefix ::= NCName LocalPart ::= NCName NCName ::= (Letter | '_') (NCNameChar)* NCNameChar ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | CombiningChar | Extender So, unless I am misunderstanding something (which is always possible), a hyphen should be valid in a namespace prefix, unless it's the first character. However, Tomcat (specifically, javac) dies on this since a hyphen is not a valid character within a Java identifier. There is appropriate code in Tomcat's org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagGeneratorBase class (in the getTagVarName() method) that escapes characters in the tag "name" part, but not in the "prefix" part. Will post a test case in a moment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
