Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-12776:
-----------------------------------------
Actually it seems the unescaping/escaping already happens for property reading
(https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/334fa10956b101c24f62e22a54f33afc374085da/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/JcrValueMap.java#L298)
and writing
(https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/334fa10956b101c24f62e22a54f33afc374085da/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/JcrModifiableValueMap.java#L66C33-L66C46)
but not for resources themselves (mapped to nodes), neither for reading nor
for writing.
Do you remember why it is that way [~cziegeler]?
> Automatically (un)escape illegal JCR characters in resource/property names
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-12776
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12776
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JCR
> Affects Versions: JCR Resource 3.3.2
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> For JR2 and Oak the defacto standard for dealing with unsupported JCR
> characters in node/property names is using
> [o.a.j.util.Text.escapeIllegalJcrChars|https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.14/org/apache/jackrabbit/util/Text.html#escapeIllegalJcrChars-java.lang.String-]
> which resembles URI encoding. Compare also with
> https://jackrabbit.apache.org/archive/wiki/JCR/EncodingAndEscaping_115513396.html.
> However the JCR Resource provider currently just simply fails for invalid
> names (when writing) and does not unescape those names when reading.
> As the Sling API does not define any limitations on resource names (except
> for "/" which is used as path separator) I would expect that invalid
> characters are transparently handled by the underlying provider.
