Scriptaculous fails to load when java url rewriting is in place.
Reported by Peter Radkov | June 11th, 2008 @ 11:25 AM
The regular expression on line 48 and 50 in scriptaculous.js fail to match the schptaculous script tag when URL rewriting is in place. As a result the scriptaculous components - i.e. the additional js files don't load. The rexexp is currently (/scriptaculous\.js(\?.*)?$/). Here's a test file that illustrates the case: When the url of the js files is produced by the c:url tag and, as a result ;jsessionid is added at the end of the file name, the green div fails to appear and a js error is reported by the browser.

This falls outside the domain of the loader. Either (monkey)patch the
scriptaculous.jsloader (not recommended), or load in the various.jsfiles you need from script.aculo.us manually:<c:url value="/script/scriptaculous-js-1.8.1/src/effects.js" var="SCRIPTACULOUS_URL"/> <c:url value="/script/scriptaculous-js-1.8.1/src/dragdrop.js" var="SCRIPTACULOUS_URL"/> <c:url value="/script/scriptaculous-js-1.8.1/src/controls.js" var="SCRIPTACULOUS_URL"/>
