Build Identifier: RAP 1.3 When returning String containing "-characters, these lead to javascript-erros. At least "-characters should be escaped. Probably the same algorithm as in org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(String) from Commons-Lang could be used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just create a BrowserFunction and return new String("test \" test"). untested, but should do the trick
org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJavaScript(String) would be better
The double quote character is now escaped.
What about the other characters? Cite from the StringEscaptUtils#escapeEcmaScript JavaDoc (renamed from escapeJavaScript): Escapes any values it finds into their EcmaScript String form. Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.) So a tab becomes the characters '\\' and 't'. The only difference between Java strings and EcmaScript strings is that in EcmaScript, a single quote and forward-slash (/) are escaped.
Philipp, I've just tested the tab character (\t) and it is properly visualized without escaping - no javascript errors. Do you have any particular problems with some characters?
Ivan, I did not personally check all characters mentioned, but I assumed they had good reasons to escape the chosen characters. I guess the most important characters are " and '
Philipp, " and ' work... I don't think that it's necessary to escape something that is working without escaping. If you have a particular problem with some other characters, please reopen the bug.
