[Dojo-interest] cross-domain build doesn't find NLS file

[ben hockey]

in general you may find dojo 1.7 to be more amenable to what you're 
trying to achieve.  in fact i wouldn't suggest this to many people but 
in your case i would highly recommend working from trunk.  i know from 
first hand experience that trying to build a web widget with anything 
before dojo 1.7 is much more difficult.  there are many features in dojo 
1.7 that will make your life easier when building a web widget - most 
(if not all) of these helpful features are related to the loader.  i'm 
not sure if there's anything specifically related to your question in 
this thread but most of the "features" mentioned in the ticket you 
linked to have changed or been replaced by a better option.

for example, if you grep the trunk source code you'll find no reference 
to rePkg.  also, scopeMap has been replaced by a completely different 
mechanism that's configured in a different way.  you may not like to 
hear some of this but i'm telling you now so that you don't waste any 
more time on something that is about to be obsolete.

i've faced a number of the difficulties you're facing with building a 
web widget so if you'd like me to outline my approach then let me know 
and i'll give you more details.  to give you an idea of how i start, i 
don't have the user include a script that directly links to my build of 
dojo but instead i have them include a snippet like the google analytics 
async snippet.  for example:

<script>
             (function () {
                 var el = document.createElement('script'),
                     s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];

                 el.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 
'https://ssl' : 'http://www') +
                     'myDomain.com/webWidget';

                 el.type = 'text/javascript';
                 el.async = true;
                 s.parentNode.insertBefore(el, s);
             }());
</script>

alternatively, you could potentially have your users include the 
following script tag if its sufficient for your needs

<script src="http://www.myDomain.com/webWidget"></script>

then the file at myDomain.com/webWidget is a reference to a bootstrap 
that is still not yet dojo.  this is a server "templated" file.  this 
allows the server to substitute values into certain places in the file 
and the result is a javascript file that contains the following:
     - dojo's baseUrl (injected by the server templating)
     - a dojoConfig object (you could have parts of this templated by 
the server)
     - code to inject the styleSheet
     - code to inject dojo.js

following this approach, you don't need to rename dojo.js because it 
gets injected as dojo.js by the bootstrap.

anyhow, hopefully this helps and feel free to ask more about the details 
of how i've approached this.  i want to make sure you don't waste time 
chasing a dead-end.
