I am trying to solve a bug for an application here at the company I work for. I have a weird problem: basically if I type the following string in a textarea Hello 'd'd' nénéné it will RECEIVE (server side) it posted to my app Controller (Spring) in the following way: Hello 'd'd' nénéné…. the weird thing is that the accented Es remain unchanged, while the apostrophe gets escaped… but then on the controller side there is no escaping.
I am using spring, but I really don’t know if there are Filter or Interceptors doing some weird stuff in the middle.
I guess it’s a Spring SQL injection protection:
'must whatever be escaped when sent to a server, whereaséisn’t dangerous.
