[opencms-dev] Escaping commas as delimiters

[Roman Uhlig Maxity.de]

Maybe OpenCms is treating ',' in a special way regarding XSD's. Try
using a different separator like ';' if possible.

Betreff: [opencms-dev] Escaping commas as delimiters


I'm running into an interesting problem that I'm guessing must have
surfaced before... 

I've got an element in my XSD which is associated w/ a
MultiSelectWidget. That allows users to select multiple strings to serve
as a value for that particular element.
Those multiple values are stored underneath as comma separated values.

e.g.

Products
---A
---B
---C

if first two products are selected and the document is saved, in control
code underneath it gets saved as 'A,B'
The problem arises when one of the product names has a comma in its
description
   


Products
---A
---B,B1
---C
      
now in the control code underneath, it is saved with 'A,B,B1'.
Obviously that blurs the line between having two options 'A' and 'B,B1'
and three options 'A', 'B', and 'B1' which creates problems when I try
to search for things later.

I tried replacing commas w/ unicode values but that didn't work.

Any suggestions?
