1.0 Limitations

1.1 BiDi issue for WebArt Designer, Animated GIF Designer, and PageDesigner classic

WebArt Designer sometimes fails to create the Logo image of the bidirectional language on Windows 2000. If you specify character spacing when you create a Logo image of right-to-left characters, the width of the Logo is incorrect. You must specify zero as character spacing to have a correct Logo image of bidirectional characters on Windows 2000.

Animated GIF Designer sometimes fails to create the animated banner of the bidirectional language on Windows 2000. If you specify character spacing when you create a Logo image of right-to-left characters, the width of the Logo is incorrect. You must specify zero as character spacing to have a correct Logo image of bidirectional characters on Windows 2000.

1.2 Method names in JavaBeans used with client side can not use DBCS

The method names in JavaBeansTM used with JSF JSPs with client side caching must English characters. DBCS names do not work.

2.0 Known problems

2.1 JSP Compilation in workbench and switching server targets

If the JSP Compilation option is set to compile JSPs "when project is built in workspace" and the server targeting support is enabled, there can be a potential problem when the target server is modified.

If a project has server targeting set to a V5 server, and it is then changed to a V4 server via the context menu accessed on a project (Target Server > Modify or Target Server > Synchronize) the compiled JSPs will remain in the project, though they should be deleted. To fix this, access the project properties and go to the property page for Web and click OK.

To avoid this problem, always modify the server target via the project properties page (under the Web property page).

2.2 Invalid characters in filename will cause WAR Export to fail.

WAR Export can fail with files that have invalid characters in the filename. The invalid characters include #, $, %, +, or *. Renaming the file should allow the WAR to be exported correctly.
