[jira] Closed: (TAP5-42) Component ids shouldn't have to be valid
java identifiers
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-42?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Howard M. Lewis Ship closed TAP5-42.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Although I see your point, I commonly want a component id to match up against a field name. That's the underlying reason to limit component ids to Java identifiers. Further, component ids show up in URLs often (as part of component event URLs) and it is desirable to not include certain unsafe characters there (including "." which is used in many places about Tapestry as a separator character).

> Key: TAP5-42
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-42
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 5.0.15
> Reporter: Chris Lewis
> Priority: Minor

> When I ran through some tests on the latest svn (r606399), I ran into what I believe is a bug. Until this release I have been happily able to use w3c valid identifiers as component ids. I feel this is natural as this id ultimately ends up as the element id. However this morning I got a nasty org.apache.tapestry.ioc.internal.util.TapestryException, telling me that "Component id 'ss-test' is not valid; component ids must be valid Java identifiers: start with a letter, and consist of letters, numbers and underscores."
> I assume this was deliberate as up until this revision, I've not seen it. My question is why should component ids be forced to comply with java identifier naming conventions? It's just a string value, and I personally prefer using "-" as a separator to "_". Will this be reverted? I don't understand why my application shouldn't run when I am using a (w3c) valid id.
