Re: [wsrp-markup] URL Rewrite Senario Question

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

That was a con when there was only one type of rewriting in the picture. We
have since introduced both the namespace and proxy types of rewriting.

I'm revamping the main Markup doc and came across a statement.  It states
that for URL Rewrite scenario 2:

Con - "Uniqueness problem for JavaScript functions and variables when two
instances of the same portlet coexist in the same page."

I'm not sure I understand this.  This is a namspacing/prefixing issue not a
URL rewrite issue isn't it? The consumer will probably need to supply a
namespace to the entity.  I see this as another token that will be
rewritten by the consumer.  This token can be used so that HTML form
controls and javascript functions can be namespaced.  We can provide a
mechanism that allows this for both scenario 2 and 4.  I see this as
analogous to the URL rewriting except that we are dealing with a simple
namespace instead of a URL.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Chris
