Problem with flexitems: dot in key field results in JBO-25005

Question

I am using flexitems in my application.
I am using version 10.1.3.2.51
My application has a single group with flexitemregion. The underlying VO has one Key attribute of type String (underlying PK column is a varchar2 field). When I create a record with a '.' (a dot like in a.b ) in the field I get an error when the page is redisplayed:
JBO-25005: Objectnaam FlexItemsForAlgemeenFlexRegionAlgemeena.bnullnull voor type Viewrijset is ongeldig.
Apparently, the name of ViewRowSet is invalid, because of the dot.
Is there a solution for this ? Can we change the way the name of the rowset is derived? Note: we cannot remove the dots from the PK field in all records!
Thank you for the help.

Lia,
We will fix this for the 10.1.3.3 release.
The problem is in method getFlexItems:
public RowIteratorListAdapter getFlexItems(String group,
String flexRegion,
String keyValue1,
String keyValue2,
String keyValue3)
ViewObject vo = getFlexItemDefsOuterJoinedWithFlexItems();
String naam =
"FlexItemsFor" + group + flexRegion + keyValue1 + keyValue2 +
keyValue3;
RowSet rs = vo.findRowSet(naam);
if (rs == null)
rs = vo.createRowSet(naam);
The naam variable should substitute dots with something like underscores to create a valid RowSet name. You can override this method in a subclass and do this, but then you will run into another issue, see this thread:
