Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Openacs process disappearing

I have 2 files - test.tcl and blank-master.tcl

test.tcl

ad_page_contract {

} {
x:notnull,integer
}

ns_log Notice INSIDETEST
ad_return_template

blank-master.tcl

ad_page_contract {

} {
{x ""}
}

ns_log Notice BLANKMASTER

How might I pass value of x into blank-master in usual circumstances such as test?x=1 and test?x=a (this works;returns error) and also catch invalid urls such as test?x=1017%3C/p%3E%0D%0A%3Cp%3E (this causes server error).

A quick solution is to pass as a property in default-master and do integer validation further down in blank-master.

However, is there a coding convention that I am missing for passing queries to blank-master with better exception handling ?

The problem that I have had was rp processor displaying the error message within the master template which caught the same validation error thus resulting in a neverending error loop.
