Stability of serializers block?

Hi Cocoon developers,

yesterday I gave the XHTML serializer from the serializers
block a try within Lenya, and it solved an annoying problem
(IE did not recognize UTF-8 encoding).

Do you consider the serializers block as stable enough to
make them the default serializers for Lenya? Is there
something we should be aware of?

Thanks!

-- Andreas

I know. But why not patch it within this sitemap, instead of applying it to
everything else.

I think breaking by accident isn't a problem ... ;-)

OK, +1 too. I'll keep on using the new serializers in my sandbox
and have an eye on this issue.

Well, it is not "just" for this purpose. It fixes a bug with the
Scheduler interface. But you're right, the problems introduced
by the switch seem to outweigh the benefits.

1.2 is released, so IMO we can break stuff temporary in 1.2.1 HEAD.

generally speaking: I think it's bullshit to break stuff just that other
people might fix it (sorry for my offending language). What if other people
don't have time or just don't care ....

I think we can break stuff within 1.3 or 1.4 but not within 1.2.x

We need to be aware that other people publications depend on these 
versions and I think it's very bad for the community in the end if we 
just do these kind of things.

Generally speaking *helping* to fix something *should* be prefered than 
just switching back!

In this case I am like Michi +1 to switch back.

...but maybe we should help out so that we can use it in the future!

Yes, I'm afraid you're right. So what can we do?

1) switch back to the old serializers ... :(

2) wait for fixes / help fixing them and wait for Cocoon 2.1.6
    to release Lenya 1.2.1

3) wait for fixes / help fixing them and include the patched
    classes in Lenya 1.2.1

WDYT?

I think these serializers (at least the XML one) are seriously broken
re namespaces, but I guess my vote is too late :-(

i'll happily dance on the grave of iso 8859-1 when we switch, but it 
will be a lot of work. this serializer allows us to attempt the move 
when we could not before :)

I think that would make our lives a lot easier.

Do you mean we should switch to utf-8 for 1.2.1 ?

To be honest, I have not yet tried this magic serializer, but if it
makes trouble it should be easy to switch back to what we use now (no
utf8 etc.)

[Vote] Serializers block in Lenya 1.2.1

Posted by Andreas Hartmann <an...@apache.org>.
Hi Lenya developers,

I propose to use the serializers from the Cocoon serializers
block in the current 1.2.1 HEAD.

Reason: Using this serializer, IE recognizes UTF-8 encoding,
         which enables us to switch to UTF-8.

I've run into some namespace issues but haven't had the
time to track them down. But if it works for Lenya - go
for it. We can track them down if you run into problems.
