[jira] [Created] (JENA-375) varaible names may not contain a dot '.'

Claude Warren created JENA-375:
----------------------------------

             Summary: varaible names may not contain a dot '.'
                 Key: JENA-375
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-375
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Jena
    Affects Versions: Jena 2.7.4
            Reporter: Claude Warren


Variable names like ?foo.bar fail with a
com.hp.hpl.jena.query.QueryParseException: Encountered " "." ". "" at line 1, column 32.
Was expecting one of:
    <IRIref> ...
    <PNAME_NS> ...
    <PNAME_LN> ...
    <VAR1> ...
    <VAR2> ...
    "a" ...
    "(" ...
    "!" ...
    "^" ...
    
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.sparql.lang.ParserSPARQL11.perform(ParserSPARQL11.java:102)
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.sparql.lang.ParserSPARQL11.parse$(ParserSPARQL11.java:53)
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.sparql.lang.Parser.parse(Parser.java:37)
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.query.QueryFactory.parse(QueryFactory.java:156)
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.query.QueryFactory.create(QueryFactory.java:79)
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.query.QueryFactory.create(QueryFactory.java:52)
	at com.hp.hpl.jena.query.QueryFactory.create(QueryFactory.java:40)
	...

Based on the SPARQL 1.1 Query Language (http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rVARNAME) I believe that a dot is acceptable in the variable name

Re: [jira] [Created] (JENA-375) varaible names may not contain a dot '.'

Posted by Paul Gearon <ge...@ieee.org>.
I'm curious... why do you think a "dot" is acceptable?

I presume that you're referring to the standard "period" or "fullstop" that
occurs at 0x002E (as opposed to a similar looking character in another
codepage).

Varnames look like:
( PN_CHARS_U<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rPN_CHARS_U>
|
[0-9] ) ( PN_CHARS_U<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rPN_CHARS_U>
|
[0-9] | #x00B7 | [#x0300-#x036F] | [#x203F-#x2040] )*

#x002E is not in any of the hex ranges shown, so looking at PN_CHARS_U we
see:

PN_CHARS_BASE<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rPN_CHARS_BASE>
|
'_'

OK, it's not an underscore, so look in PN_CHARS_BASE:

[A-Z] | [a-z] | [#x00C0-#x00D6] | [#x00D8-#x00F6] | [#x00F8-#x02FF] |
[#x0370-#x037D] | [#x037F-#x1FFF] | [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] |
[#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] |
[#x10000-#xEFFFF]

It's not a letter, and the lowest of the characters after the letter
classes start at #x00C0, which is much higher than #002E.

So the parser appears to be doing the right thing here.

Regards,
Paul
