org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspUtil

Does anyone here know why the escapeQueryString method was added in
JspUtil and why exactly it is being called when dealing with
setProperty?

I'm trying to fix a bug and I didn't track why and when that change got
in. Thanks.

Well, then, please evaluate or fix the bug where someone has a '?' in the
string which gets escaped as '\?' and that is an invalid escape sequence.

See attachment.

If the value of the property to be set is a constant and it 
has any special characters (" for example) then they must be 
escaped using a \.
