Problem with @ in conref

[Denis]

Hi

we are using the Eclipse Oxygen Author in Version 15.2.

I use the

Code: Select all

insertFragmentSchemaAware

method to insert a fragment, which contains a conref attribute. So far so good.

Now I want to refer a file, which contains a »@« symbol in the filename, but in the editor occurs a »Error while parsing external reference: filepath/filename_cut_at_position_@«. The filename ends by the last charakter before the »@« symbol occurs. Of course there is not a file with this name, but when I remove the »@« symbol all works great.

Is there a way to escape the symbol or another way to solve this problem, without to remove the »@« symbol?

Best regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,

The conref attribute value needs to be a valid URI with illegal characters escaped.
You could try to use our API to do this:

Code: Select all

String conrefValue = authorAccess.getUtilAccess().correctURL(originalConrefValue);

then use the corrected value in the XML which get composed to be inserted with the API.

Radu
