Problem with XTile component

[Dave Kallstrom <da...@gmail.com>]

I am having problem getting the XTile component to correctly send data back
to the server. Whenever a user types in a string with an ampersand in it the
text after the ampersand as well as the ampersand itself is being cut off.
For example "this & that" is being sent back to the server as "this". I
believe there was a change made to the XTile component to replace the
homegrown regular expression uri encoder to use the javascript encodeURI()
function. Could this be the problem? I am certain this was working in
previous releases of tapestry. We are currently on 4.1.2
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, found TAPESTRY-977 to explain the change. Dave found he could use
the old escaping functionality from Tapestry 4.0
(escape(text).replace(/\+/g,
'%2B').replace(/\"/g,'%22').replace(/\'/g, '%27');) to pass the value
into XTile, then decode in the listener using URLDecoder.decode(value,
"UTF-8");.

So I guess XTile used to handle escaping of &, +, etc., but now it is
the expectation that the code using XTile will escape those things
properly.

I guess that makes sense, as long as it is consistent :)

Fwd: Problem with XTile component

[Ben Dotte <be...@gmail.com>]

It appears this became a problem when XTile.script started using
encodeURI() to encode the request parameters instead of escape(). In
the commit history I don't see a specific case tied to the change.. it
says only "Refactored XTile to use encodeURI() to encode url
parameters".

Jesse - Do you remember why this change was made? The example Dave (my
coworker) gives below does indeed break on 4.1.2 but works on 4.0.

Thanks,
Ben
