EL validation error for quote escaping [message #542583]

Hi all,

I just installed Helios and I get "Unable to analyze EL expression due to lexical analysis error" for these valid EL expressions:

${'\"'}
${fn:replace(name,'\"','')}

I found several bug reports for this, which are supposed to be resolved: 151065, 150794 and lots of duplicates.

So this seems to be a regression in 3.2. I am pretty certain, that there is already a bug open for that, but I fail to find it in bugzilla (I hate that search). I wouldn't like to create the 23rd bug report for this...

Does anybody know the corresponding bug report for this regression or even a workaround?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

If it's comforting, there was no regression Wink

It seems like the bugs listed (151065, 150794 and the duplicates associated with them) had a fix that corrected escaped quotes in JSP tags, but not actually in EL regions. We would need to track this with a new Bug.

Hi Nick,

thanks for your answer! I don't know about the exact fixes for these bugs, but I know, that Eclipse 3.5.1 doesn't behave like this, while 3.6 does. That's why I called it a regression.

I'll open a bug report then.

Thanks,
Michael

Oops, the regression is somewhere else:
I have set the Validation option "EL syntax problem" to "Warning". This has the expected effect for this bug in 3.5.1 but not in 3.6.
