[jira] Created: (LANG-423) StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava() behavior changed; backslash escapes '/' characters

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.

Hehe, looking at that diff, it appears someone already implemented a nearly identical fix in svn.  So I suppose my patch isn't really needed.  I'm leaving the ticket open, however.

    Resolution: Duplicate

Closing.  I see now this duplicates LANG-421.  Don't know why I didn't see that in my search results before I created this ticket...
