Minor Description
If a template for a page has unquoted attributes values containing a "/" character then Tapestry throws template-parsing errors. The errors are usually "missing attribute value" or "unmatched close tag" but others are possible.
The problem occurs because the TemplateParser class assumes that a "/" character means the end of the current tag (ie a "/>"). The code in the startTag() function uses lines like:
if (ch == '/' || ch == '>')
// do something
This is incorrect. The fix is to look ahead for the next character if the current character is a slash):
if((ch == '/' && lookahead(new char[]
{ '>' })) || ch == '>')
// do something
I have tried the fix and it does resolve the issue. The fix needs to be applied to lines 805 and 870 of TemplateParser.java (in v3.0.1).
