I'm not sure I understand (or agree with) what Xavier is saying here.

.../wa/actionName?foo=bar&foobar=doo

is different to

../wa/actionName?foo=bar&amp;foobar=doo.

In the first case there are two parameters (or form values), one called foo and the other called foobar
with values "bar" and "doo". In the second case there is one parameter "foo" with a value "bar&foobar=doo".


If you URL escape the ampersands between parameters then you are effectively making them all one
value that gets associated with the first one.


Did I miss something?

Hi,

well, you are requesting XHTML compliance. This is not supported by WebObjects 5.3 and was not by WebObjects 5.2.x. But whats the problem? This is not too hard to fix. I also wonder how this could have worked with WO Version < 5.3. Could you please post an example of the code which works with WO 5.2.x and which does not work with 5.3? This way i might be able to send you a workaround.


regards, David

OK David, so here's the details:
When you've got a direct Action, in which there are several parameter, it becomes a link like
.../wa/actionName?attribute1=xparam&attribute2=yparam
for example.
The HTML specification says the "&" in URLs must be escaped to "&amp;" so the HTML code for this link should be:
.../wa/actionName?attribute1=xparam&amp;attribute2=yparam
and it was the case at least in 5.2.3 and earlier (I don't remember in 5.2.4).


So this thing that seems trivial and none harmful just ruined any accessibility "rating" you're application could have (the ratings are A, AA and AAA), at least above A (because it requires a valid HTML code). And the European law says that public organisations must be at least A but target AA.

On my particular side, we were able to provide most af our product as AAA and they now all fall down to A...

I'm not sure I made myself clear, let me know if I'm still "weird":)

Hi,

what does this mean 'the & isn't escaped in Direct Action' ??? In the response from a WODirectAction's action method or where??? It would be great if you can explain me this issue a little bit more in detail. I am also sure that with such a bugreport apple would not spend a second before closing such a bugreport ;-)

Hi David,
just one major issue in 5.3: the & isn't escaped in Direct Action which is a major issue (HTML conformance) as you cannot provide anything to public organisation all over Europe (at least you can only provide the lowest level of accessibility which is simple-A, but can't do double-A or triple-A accessibility as it requires HTML conformance...)
It used to work correctly before 5.3 (don't remember in 5.2.4).


I also think the date used to be displayed localized when the session as a language set (at least the ones integrated in OS X).

But I'm not a WO expert, so my point my not be accurate;)

Xavier







Hi,

could you please clarify those important fixes? I would really like to know what exactly does not work.

regards, David

Regardless of whether they have done this in the past or not, Apple
needs to explain when they will fix the problems in WO 5.3. I am sure
many people have decided to avoid WebObjects for projects until the
fixes have been made.

Can an engineer on the WO Team give any indication of a WO 5.3
update please? Just so we could plan for things. I don't see how
that could hurt anything.
