Declaring local variables inside a static function gives compile errors. The following example does not compile.

application test

entity Ent {
  intVal :: Int
  static function someInt() : Int {
    var i : Int := 1;
    var ent : Ent := Ent{ intVal := 2 };
    return i + ent.intVal;
  }
}

define page root() { }

The following errors are given by WebDSL during compilation:

• test.app:6/6: error: Global variable i has illegal type. Global variables can only be of a defined entity type, not a list, set or builtin type.
• test.app:8/13: error: Variable ‘i’ not defined
• test.app:8/17: error: Variable ‘ent’ not defined
