XSP Bug(?) with Backslashes

[Ulrich Mayring <ul...@denic.de>]

Hello,

I have an XML file that contains some paths as data like this:

<file>C:\some\path\file</file>

The whole thing is displayed via an XSLT stylesheet and it works fine.
Now, if I make the XML file an XSP page by adding <?cocoon-process
type="xsp"?> and the enclosing <xsp:page> tags, then it breaks. I get
this error message:

String not terminated at end of line.
document.createTextNode("C:\some\path\file")

I'm pretty sure this has to do with the fact that Java interprets the
"\" character as an escape character. Looking at the source I find that
the exact same code is generated with both version (XML/XSLT and XSP):

xspCurrentNode.appendChild(
      document.createTextNode("C:\some\path\file")
    );

So I guess the error is probably higher up in the processing chain.

Fixed.

Thanks Ulrich!
