Fix Version/s: fileinstall-3.0.2
(was: fileinstall-3.1.0)
> Avoiding property substitution by escaping does not remove escape character

> Key: FELIX-2366

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File Install
> Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.0.0
> Reporter: Bengt Rodehav

> Fix For: fileinstall-3.0.2

>
> To avoid property substitution, an escape character was introduced in version
> 3.0.0 of File Install. The idea is that if I want to send the configuration
> value
> ${propkey}
> to my application without property substitution to take place, I can escape
> the START_DELIM (${) and STOP_DELIM (}) with a backslash as follows:
> $\{propkey\}
> However, when doing this the escape character is not removed from the string.
> The reason is as follows:
> The method of interest is substVars in class
> org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.Util. The logic tries to find matching
> DELIM_START (${) and DELIM_STOP (}). When you escape either of these (by
> specifying a backslash before "${" and/or "}"), the logic will never find
> matching DELIM_START and DELIM_STOP which causes the method to immediately
> return without performing property substitution. The logic at the end of the
> method (that removes the backslashes) is never reached.
> A workarount is to add an unnecessary property at the end of the value just
> to make sure some property substitution will take place since then the logic
> at the end of the substVars() method (that removes the escape character) will
> be reached. Thus, this works:
> $\{propkey\}${#}
