Hi,
I have retrieve the data/value from the database that consist of single or double quotes but unable to display to the textbox in jsp page. if the value does not consist of quotes, then it perform fine

How can I resolve the above

I couldn't understand exact problem, but regarding the single quote I
have on function which replace the single quote. Try to use this one before puting the string into the text box.
it might be work.


import java.util.regex.*;

               public String validateString(String str) {
                  String value="";
                  try{
                    String REGEX = "\'";
                    String INPUT = str;
                    String REPLACE = "\'\'";

                    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(REGEX);
                    Matcher m = p.matcher(INPUT);
                    value = m.replaceAll(REPLACE);
                  }catch(Exception e){}
                  return value;

                }

you could've done all that in one line...

value = m.replaceAll("\'", "\'\'");

Well, that's not the solution i suggest. I
guess you basically want to escape certain
special characters. If i'm not wrong, you would
have the same problem with even < and > symbols.

try this:

value = URLEncoder.encode(str, "UTF-8");

You don't have to decode this unless you are using this
in a javascript function. If so, use the unescape() function
of javascript.
