[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-3542) Incorrect rendering of default property values with backslashes in property editor

["Tobias Bocanegra (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3542?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13620631#comment-13620631 ] 

Tobias Bocanegra commented on FELIX-3542:
-----------------------------------------

debugging shows that the webconsole is doing everything ok. the problem is that the org.osgi.service.metatype.AttributeDefinition retrieved from the org.osgi.service.metatype.ObjectClassDefinition already has the wrong default values.

>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Web Console
>            Reporter: Ankur Pathela
>            Priority: Minor
>
> For a component property defined as below:
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~
> static private final String DEFAULT_FILE_PATTERN = "(?i)index\\.html";
> @Property(value=DEFAULT_FILE_PATTERN)
> static private final String PN_FILE_PATTERN = "file.pattern"; 
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~
> The backslash gets eaten up in the felix web console. The default value should appear as (?i)index\.html but ends up looking like (?i)index.html. This regex has a different meaning than the one intended.
> The component gets the correct initial value. But things fail when you open the property editor and save without making any changes(because the editor loaded up with an incorrect default value). Note that the property values when saved from the property editor render correctly the next time the editor loads.
