[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-1514) seam-gen should normalize project name

seam-gen should normalize project name -------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1514 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1514 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Patch Components: Tools Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1 Environment: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode) seam CVS HEAD Reporter: Dan Allen Assigned To: Dan Allen Fix For: 2.0.1.GA Attachments: JBSEAM-1514-build.xml-v2.txt, JBSEAM-1514-build_xml-v1.patch, NormalizeProjectNameTask-v1.java Original Estimate: 15 minutes Remaining Estimate: 15 minutes seam-gen uses the name of the project in a lot of (dangerous) places when generating the code and configurations. If a project created with seam-gen is going to work correctly, this name must have "safe" characters (safe for JNDI, safe for value binding expressions, etc). Currently, if the person using seam-gen enters a space character or a hyphen in the name (two very standard use cases), then the resulting project will not work correctly. I have provided a patch that will normalize this name. It is implemented as an Ant task that filters the name for spaces and hyphens and replaces them with underscores. It then does a second pass to eliminate duplicate underscore characters. Granted, doing this filtering will not honor the exact name for the project that the user provides, but then again, what is the use if the project is broken.
