[jira] Commented: (WOOKIE-151) Numeric keys for preferences result in Parse Error in Safari

["Raido Kuli (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-151?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12971597#action_12971597 ] 

Raido Kuli commented on WOOKIE-151:
-----------------------------------

I've looked into this and found the line in wookie-wrapper which causes Syntax: parse error message.

64: eval("Widget.preferences.prefs."+key+"=pref");

It seems Safari can't handle evaluating for example "Widget.preferences.prefs.1245=somevalue".

> If you create a widget that uses numeric keys for preference values, this can cause a Parse Error deeper in Wookie (most likely, in DWR) even if the values are cast to a String.
> To replicate, add this line to any widget:
> widget.preferences.setItem("12345","67890");
> Also:
> widget.preferences.setItem("12345a","67890");
> ...will fail, but not:
> widget.preferences.setItem("a12345","67890");
> I suspect this is something either in the wrapper.js or DWR engine.js. Unfortunately the debug tools in Safari aren't sufficient to trace it properly.
> As a workaround - just don't use numbers for preference keys!
