Hi Lukas,
I have sent a login, password, and URL to your private email address, so
you can examine the exact Pier installation with which we are having
troubles.
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for sending the sample documents.
I tried to reproduce with all of the following 36 possible combinations:
- Pier 1.1.1 on Mac / latest Pier on Mac / Pier 1.1.1 on Linux
- WAKom / WAKomEncoded
- Safari 3 on Mac / IE 6 on Windows / FireFox 3 on Ubuntu Linux
- Microsoft Word 2008 on Mac / Open Office 2.4 on Ubuntu Linux
I cannot reproduce the problem.
Maybe you can try to temporarily replace
MAContainerComponent>>validate to see if there is something strange
going on with exceptions ...
MAContainerComponent>>validate
self withContainersDo: [ :each | each doValidate ].
^ errors isEmpty
Cheers,
Lukas

Hi Lukas,
Thank you very much for your interest in this problem. I have sent two
sample documents to your regular email address as they are too big for the
mailing list. Both are .doc files generated by Open Office 2.4.
I generated the error by simply copying and pasting the contents of the
documents into Pier's edit box. (I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu Linux.)
Sample_One does not work, while Sample_Two works just fine, and the only
thing I did in Sample_Two was delete the long dash between the words
"conclusion" and "whatever" and replace it with a period. So Magritte
is
not generating errors based on the encoding of the whole message, it's
responding to specific characters (which I assume it can't read.)
Thus my suggestion that the problem be solved by simply replacing those
characters with a question mark or a box, plus perhaps a message to the
user.
As to your suggestion that I add some code... I'd love to, but you could
put everything I know about Squeak in a thimble and have room left over.
(I plan to work on Squeak in my spare moments, but it will be many
months before I'm ready to contribute to a sophisticated project.) But
I'll happily submit additions to the documentation as appropriate, and
supply you with a continuing stream of bug reports as our development
goes forward.
Thanks,
Alex

According to our sysadmin, "we're using
the Wakom server adapter, plus
the
most recent version of Magritte, Seaside, and Pier from Lukas, which we
updated may 14th."
Ok, I guess you are on Squeak/Pharo then.
The exact error message we're seeing read,
"Contents: Invalid input
given."
I have included a screen shot, which I hope will not be rejected by the
mailing list program.
Ok, that doesn't look too bad. This is a validation check of
Magritte.
You can easily change the error message by adding a method like this:
PRCase class>>descriptionDocumentYourPackage: aDescription
^ aDescription kindErrorMessage: 'There was a problem reading your
input because your word processor is not set to UTF-8.'
To be able to investigate the real cause of the problem I need some
more information. Could you send step by step introductions on how to
reproduce the problem. Maybe together with a Word document (I assume
this is the offender?) that I can copy from?
Cheers,
Lukas
