[Smartfrog-support] encoding of SF files, allowable characters

[Grove, M. <mik...@hp...>]

smartfrog gurus,

i've just started reading through smartfrog documentation and have been
playing with the latest distribution on sourceforge.  i'm still
recovering from I18N testing that i performed on a previous project, so
you'll understand my initial questions being on that topic.

i couldn't find a discussion in the documentation on the expected
encoding of SF files.  is the file assumed to be UTF-8?  can that
encoding be modified, either globally or on a per file basis?  i'm not
requesting that it be configurable, just want to understand how things
work today.

related to that question is one on allowable characters in SF files.  in
particular, i'm wondering whether there are restrictions on allowable
characters for attribute names and (more importantly) attribute values,
or whether all unicode characters are supported.  i also would be
interested in knowing if there are restrictions on component names,
include paths, codebase paths, etc.

sorry if i missed this in the docs - i'd appreciate a pointer if i did.
