Hi Chuck, you've always got a simple and efficient way to say things:)
So yes that's what I was trying to explain...
So basically it's something very stupid and I'm sure most of the
developers of this list might be able to workaround this very
fast...but not me, it's going to take me quite some times to "fix"
something that worked correctly and was broken in our new super
advanced updated WO 5.3;)
By the way, we didn't get any word to say if the Java update is safe
or not:(
I think that Xavier is talking about the difference between a URL
in an HTML file and an URL as sent to a web server. In HTML the
URL would look like
../wa/actionName?foo=bar&foobar=doo
And the browser is responsible for decoding this and sending this
to the server:
.../wa/actionName?foo=bar&foobar=doo

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&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.

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
"&" so the HTML code for this link should be:
.../wa/actionName?attribute1=xparam&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":)
Xavier
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.

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.
