Re: [jsr-314-open] [OT] faces-config.xml names
Gang -
The spec defines the name element as:
<xsd:element name="name"
type="javaee:java-identifierType"
minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1">
javaee:java-identifierType is:
<xsd:complexType name="java-identifierType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
The java-identifierType defines a Java identifier.
The users of this type should further verify that
the content does not contain Java reserved keywords.
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:restriction base="j2ee:string">
<xsd:pattern value="($|_|\p{L})(\p{L}|\p{Nd}|_|$)*"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
My regular expression parsing skills are not what they should be, but I
believe that this is unintentionally overly strict. The desired
semantics are to match the XML NMTOKEN type:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-2e-20000814.html#NT-Nmtoken
Which allows '.' (and other characters too, like '-', ':').
This is going to require a loosening of the spec - in particular, in the
XSD for faces-config.xml. Can we find some way to address this?
Perhaps as a spec errata that allows implementations to accept qualified
ids?

IMO. Though I don't understand the reasons it wasn't included at all,
so I can't really theorize.

Andy,
Prettyfaces uses ocpsoft_pretty_faces (dot is not an allowed
character and will cause deploy failure)
Too bad. I would have voted for the Java namespace style. I like
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad and org.ocpsoft.prettyfaces
Either way, I would use a name that maps closely to the root package
of the component library.
