Could someone please have a look at COCOON-1811 and apply the patch before
building 2.1.10.
Some additional background:
Currently it is impossible to use cocoon.load from within a function of another
java script during handing of a sitemap call to a function:
loadingFunction = function() {
...
cocoon.load("scriptToBeLoaded.js");
...
}
fails in almost every situation. The reason is that global variable scope is
locked as soon as all initial scripts have been loaded in order to avoid
creating new variables in global scope that migth override earlier variables
with the same name.
In the current version there is an exception for Java classes so that one can
still do importClass or a fully qualified new from within functions.
As java script functions can more or less behave like classes, we also need
this exception for java ascript functions. Therefore in the patch I supplied I
made the test less restrictive in the respect that it also accepts new
javascript functions in global scope.
I have been using this patched version in our software for over a year now and
never encountered any problem.
Thanks in advance to anyone who will have a look and possibly apply the patch.
