Hi all,
The GWT XMLParser seems to have a bug wtih respect to escaping of xml
entities like the less-than sign. E.g. writting a less-than sign in a
text node should become '<'. This escaping is performed correctly
when writing the text content in the TEXT node, but when the text node
is added to a parent element it is UNescaped again. Resulting in
invalid XML.
To better illustrate this issue I created a test case:
public class XMLEncodeTest extends GWTTestCase {
public static final String TEST_TEXT = "Hello < > World";
public static final String TEST_TAG = "test";
public static final String EXPECTED_XML = "<test>Hello < >
World</test>";
@Test
public void testTestEscape() {
Document doc = XMLParser.createDocument();
Text textNode = doc.createTextNode(TEST_TEXT); // everything
is well here, escaping is performed
Element element = doc.createElement(TEST_TAG);
element.appendChild(textNode); // BUG: text is unescaped
again!
doc.appendChild(element);
Assert.assertTrue(EXPECTED_XML.equals(element.toString()));
}
@Override
public String getModuleName() {
return "my.tests.gwt.tests";
}
}
Am I doing something wrong here? Should I report an issue for this on
the gwt issue tracker?
best regards,
Dennis
