[jelly] , CDATA, '&' and '<'

[Stéphane MOR <st...@yahoo.fr>]

Hi,

I would like to use <j:file/> to generate a Perl Script (this can look 
weird, but anyway ...).

The file I want to generate could look like (this VERY simple script):

<j:file name="myscript.pl" omitXmlDeclaration="true">
#!/usr/bin/perl
sub CheckName{
  my ($name, $age);

  if ( $name != "Stéphane" && $age < 22) {
      $return = &Foo();
      $return .= "you're not the one I expected";
      return $return;
  }else{
      return "welcome !"
  }
}
</j:file>

I solved the problem of the '$' being removed by Jelly when I doubled 
them, ie:
my ($$name, $$age);

I tried to get it running and it said "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: 
The entity "Foo" was referenced, but not declared."

So, I enclosed the whole thing in a <![CDATA[]]> section.
All run well, but the resulting output file was:

#!/usr/bin/perl
sub CheckName{
  my ($name, $age);

  if ( $name != "Stéphane" &amp;&amp; $age &lt; 22) {
      $return = &amp;Foo();
      $return .= "you're not the one";
      return $return;
  }else{
      return "welcome !"
  }
}

So, I'd like to know how i can output '&', '<' and '>' nicely in a 
<j:file/>, if possible.

Thanx!
Stéphane

HEAD (and the Jelly SNAPSHOT) on a Linux
box under JDK1.3.1.

Hi Stéphane

Using either CDATA sections, or escaping & as & in the jelly script is
fine.

This is that old chestnut, XML encoding. There's an attribute of <j:file> to
set the encoding type. So far the only ones understood are 'xml' and 'html'.
See if the HTML encoding works for you. If not I'll try add a 'text'
encoding that matches what you need.

<j:file name="myscript.pl" omitXmlDeclaration="true" outputMethod="html">...
