EscapeTool

[Shinobu Kawai <sh...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

In case anyone is interested, I made a cool tool that works with escaping in Velocity.  I usually put o.a.c.lang.StringEscapeUtils or o.a.v.anakia.Escape in the context, but with all the weird behaviour in VTL escaping, I figured I might as well make a new tool for Velocity.  Since it uses StringEscapeUtils, it adds a dependency to commons-lang 2.0.  Again, no documentation but the tests.

The class:
    http://sylow.no-ip.com/pub/apache/jakarta/velocity/tools/EscapeTool.java
The test:
    http://sylow.no-ip.com/pub/apache/jakarta/velocity/tools/EscapeToolTest.java

Simple manual
- Putting the tool in the context.
  context.put("esc", new EscapeTool());
- Using it.
-- Escaping Java: (Assuming that $java is the Java string.)
  $esc.java($java)
-- Escaping JavaScript: (Assuming that $javascript is the JavaScript string.)
  $esc.javascript($javascript)
-- Escaping HTML: (Assuming that $html is the HTML string.)
  $esc.html($html)
-- Escaping XML: (Assuming that $xml is the XML string.)
  $esc.xml($xml)
-- Escaping SQL: (Assuming that $sql is the sqL string.)
  $esc.sql($sql)
-- output $
  $esc.dollar or $esc.d
-- output #
  $esc.sharp or $esc.s
-- output \
  $esc.backslash or $esc.b
-- output "
  $esc.quote or $esc.q
-- output !
  $esc.exclamation or $esc.e

Any comments welcome.
