Werner Punz commented on MYFACES-4638: -------------------------------------- Fixed > Inputs submitted by AJAX loose all content beginning with ampersand ("&") > characters > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MYFACES-4638 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4638 > Project: MyFaces Core > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 5.0.0 > Reporter: Andreas Osterburg > Assignee: Werner Punz > Priority: Major > Fix For: 4.0.2, 4.1.0, 5.0.0 > > Attachments: patch-FileUtils.txt, test.xhtml > > > When submitting input fields with AJAX the ampersand "&" character is not > handled properly on client side. > A test case ist attached. Just submitting the form works as expected, > submitting by AJAX > fails if input contains "&"-signs, like "foo&bar". > It tracked this down to the function _decodeEncodedValues_ in > {_}FileUtils.ts{_}. There happens a > decode of the current ViewState in URI-encoded format. > Basically the source of the issue is that the input string (in > "{_}encoded"){_} is processed in wrong order. > Currently it is first URI-decoded an then splitted by ampersands ("&"). It > has to be in > reverse order, since the payload may contain ampersands, which are > URI-encoded by "%26". > A small working patch for demonstration is attached. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
