[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPORTAL-2165) Portal objects with a name longer than 57 cause javascript error in the admin portlet

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2165?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12430672#action_12430672 ] 

Wesley Hales commented on JBPORTAL-2165:
----------------------------------------

The encoding function currently used for LEGACY_BASE64_FORMAT on our portal object ids inserts returns every 76 characters (as per the Base64 standard) for human readability. We can either modify the MAX_LINE_LENGTH variable in our base64 class in the common module, or use some other library like Apache Commons Codec which 'supposedly' has the ability to turn off human readability.

> Creating a portal or a portal page with a name longer than 57 characters results in a javascript error when you try to click on a link for this new object. As a result you can't administrate the new object.
> The object.id of a portal object with a long name (eg. 'thisisalongnameforaportalpagetotestouthowmanycharacters58') contains a line break, which results in a javascript error 'unterminated string literal'.
