Hi,
in a WebService response a Smalltalk Float class>>#infinity is encoded as <dictValue xsi:type="xsd:double">
+Inf</
dictValue>, which is the Smalltalk String representation. But W3C expects this to be <dictValue xsi:type="xsd:double">INF</dictValue> . Am I wrong or ist this a bug in VA Smalltalk 8.03?
Excerp from:
double values have a lexical representation
consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or
"e", followed by an exponent.

If the "E" or "e"
and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.
The special values
positive
and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations
INF, -INF and
NaN, respectively.
Lexical representations for zero may take a positive or negative sign.
For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12
, -0, 0
and INF
are all legal literals for double.
