javascript" charset="utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> var
searchSection = 'support'; var searchCountry = 'us';
</script>
The error on the second script statement: <script> start tag is not
found.
Instead, I had to use this format:
<script src="http://www.foo.com/bar.js"; type="text/
javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> var
searchSection = 'support'; var searchCountry = 'us';
</script>
This smells like a Component Editor bug, but what do I know?
For what I know the script tag is valid only with a closing tag
<script ...></script> even when there is no content in between.
Also, the use of Java generics in the API declarations in the WO
5.4 frameworks may generate lots of warnings in your custom WO 5.3
code. I like to eliminate all warnings, but to do so, one must try
to understand Java generics. Be prepared to be flummoxed. To be
backward compatible with pre-generics Java, compromises in the
generics implementation had to be made. These compromises make
eliminating these compiler warnings by changing one's code
difficult in some cases. Java 1.5 has added the '@SuppressWarnings
("unchecked")' directive to tell the compiler to shut the &*^% up.
You should probably get familiar with the various @SuppressWarnings
directives if you want to eliminate compiler warnings when all else
fails.
Generics are quite valuable and helps improve your code to prevent
false assignments. I already changed my whole code to use generics as
eclipse did list warnings for missing them in the code (don't know
any more what I changed but they appeared about a month ago). That's
one of the features of WO 5.4 that I anticipate most.
I hope to survive the Xcode -> Eclipse and WO 5.3 -> 5.4 migration
pain in one big lump rather than stringing it out over two
successive migrations. I think I see a light at the end of the
tunnnel, but maybe it's just a huge locomotive heading my way.
Good luck ;-) you won't regret it.
