StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava() behavior changed; backslash escapes '/'
characters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-423
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Matthew R Hurne
StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(String str) escapes forward-slash ("/")
characters. Prior to 2.4, this was not the case. This is caused by the patch
in LANG-363, which changed the behavior of
StringEscapeUtils.escapeJavaScript(String str) to escape forward-slashes for
compatibliity with IE. The change was implemented in code common to both
methods; StringEscapeUtils.escapeJavaStyleString() .
This side-effect change to StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava() is a problem in my
project. I don't see any reason why it is necessary to escape forward-slashes
in escapeJava(), so I suggest the behavior be changed so that
escapeJavaScript() escapes forward-slashes, but escapeJava() does not.
