Quote escaping cannot be escaped
--------------------------------
Key: JEXL-98
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-98
Project: Commons JEXL
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0
Environment: All Java
Reporter: Marcel Schoen
Priority: Minor
I want to invoke a "replace" method which (pretty much like String.replace())
takes three String parameters:
function.replace(String text, String oldPart, String newPart)
If I invoke it to replace single backslash characters with double backslash
characters (which is admittedly a VERY special use case), I invoke it in my
unit test with an expression like this one:
function.replace('DOMAIN\somename', '\\', '\\\\')
The result with JEXL 1.x was a string "DOMAIN\\somename". But with JEXL 2, I
get this error:
2010-03-11 14:50:59,681 [CC:] [RC:] [CN:] - [SYSTEM] [INVALID_EXPR] Invalid
expression in configuration. Expression: 'function.replace('DOMAIN\myname',
'\\', '\\\\') / Exception: org.apache.commons.jexl2.JexlException:

Obviously, the JEXL parser thinks that the backslash in the first string is
meant to escape the following quote, which it isn't. The String should actually
end there. So, I tried to escape the escape character, like this:
function.replace('DOMAIN\somename', '\\\\', '\\\\\\\\')
But to no avail, same error.
So, can escape characters be escaped in JEXL 2?
