I'm curious about how to manage changes to call methods. If I add a parameter to a call method, I need to modify all the callers -- in TAFs and TCFs.

A coupld of things come to mind. I guess the simplest is to just do a global search for the method name.

Of course if we had the 'strict compilation' option, I could use the syntax checker for this.

Any other ideas?

Hi Phil and list,

This may already be in the v6 Studio, but I would sure like to see a 'strict compilation' option for syntax checking that could verify that meta tag attributes used in tags are actually defined.

For example, this will compile:

<@VAR SCOPE="method" NAME="comment_list_by_user_action" ENCODIGN="none">, even though I mis-typed the attribute "ENCODING"

With TCF methods the server will barf, so I can catch my typos during test. But it looks like the server just ignores undefined attributes.

Is there a server configuration variable that would do strict checking on metatags? I would hate to burden my development server with such a check, which should properly be done in the Studio, but I might at least catch some typos.

thank.
