    Just trying out the 4.5.1 update, and I found a weird bug in either
    4.5.1 or WOnder or both. Running in Eclipse I can see the exception
    (see below), but when deployed on OS X Server all you get is a page
    saying "Your request produced an error" and nothing in the log.

    The problem is with HTML tags inside "valueWhenEmpty" values, like this:

    <wo:WOString value = "$session.sessionID" escapeHTML="$false"
    valueWhenEmpty = "line1<br/>line2"/>

    which causes the exception below, but the following tag doesn't:

    <wo:WOString value = "$session.sessionID" escapeHTML="$false"
    valueWhenEmpty = "line1 line2"/>

    Note that the first tag worked fine in WO 4.5.

    So I'm wondering where I should log the bug?

    Mac OS X 10.5.2 (both server and client)
    WOnder frameworks from Feb 12
