             Summary: JSONValidationInterceptor and quotes in message
                 Key: WW-4041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4041
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin - JSON
    Affects Versions: 2.3.14
            Reporter: mael le guével
            Priority: Minor


Hello,
There is a problem with org.apache.struts2.json.JSONValidationInterceptor
This class is using StringEscapeUtils.escapeEcmaScript(String) to escape the generated JSON string.
The problem is that StringEscapeUtils.escapeEcmaScript escapes the apostrophes. Some JSON implementations accept the escaped apostrophes but some other don't and they are not able to parse the JSON.
I think there should be at least an option to disable apostrophe escaping. But as I believe escaping apostrophe is not part of the JSON specifications, the best would be to not allow apostrophe escaping.
As an example, here is a JSON string generated by the JSON plugin :
{
    "fieldErrors": {
        "password": [
            "Password isn\'t correct"
        ]
    }
}
If you test it on http://jsonlint.com/, it says the syntax is incorrect.

Thanks.
