javascript validation function errors in Shale 1.0.3

• Key: SHALE-194
• Type: Bug

Description

the callback functions generated by ValidatorScript component will cause the following javascript error on FireFox and IE:
Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://localhost:8080/ebusiness/modules/account/create.jsf
Line: 279, Column: 13
Source Code:
function page:_id0:_id1:_id7:_id13:create_account_form_email() {

this is due to the presence of colons in the callback function name and
only happens if you have a form in an html page that is processed by a
clay tag on a JSP page. Shale 1.0.2 works fine.

Fixed versions.

Added logic to strip out the UINamingContainer.SEPARATOR_CHAR and created our own version of the javascript that strips out the same colon character when resolving the form name. Added the email commonsValidator to the shale clay usecases rolodex example. I also added a subview to the shale usecases validator example.

I appreciate the help Jack.
