I have the following flow: A user is presented with a form. He fills in the form fields, and submits to the controller, which persists this to the DB On another page, the Controller gets this record from the DB, and passes it to the view The view captures it as a javascript variable: var foo = '${user.bar}'; Now, if the user enters this string in the form: I have a quote - ' - very dangerous then the quote is passed through all the way to the DB and back, and results in a corrupt javascript statement: var foo = 'I have a quote - ' - very dangerous'; What is the best place to escape this

We're experiencing a problem with play frameworks dependency management which was working fine a couple of days ago. We haven't made any configuration changes or changes to the dependency file but are getting the following errors on both our build server and locally (both located on different networks and ISP's). :: problems summary :: :::: WARNINGS module not found: vsvr1#minifymod;1.0.9 ==== vsvr1: tried -- artifact vsvr1#minifymod;1.0.9!minifymod.jar: https://github.com/maklemenz/minifymod/raw/master/dist/minifymod-1.0.9.zip [NOT FOUND ] play#recaptcha;1.3!recaptcha.zip(jar) (139ms) ====

I use this pattern SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); in windows and it works, but when try on Ubuntu 10.04 it show an exception play.exceptions.JavaExecutionException: Illegal pattern character 'Y' . I search for solution for this and found the year pattern must be change to lower-case: SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); and it works. Can anyone can tell me the reason behind this why in Windows works but in Ubuntu didn't work if I use 'Y' instead of 'y'? Note: Play-1.2.3 JRE: Windows: java version "1.7.0_03" Java(TM) SE

In play you always follow the Redirect-After-Post-Pattern if you call from a public-method of a controller. This is in most cases a good behavior, but sometime it could be nasty. So I tried to find out how it works in play 1.1!: The basic is some byte-code-enhancement, which is done in play.classloading.enhancers.ControllersEnhancer . There you can find that there still exists some exceptions of the default behavior: If your method is annotated by an annotation from the package play.mvc , for example the Before-annotation. You annotate your action with the ByPass -Annotation, this Annotation

I have a jar file copied in the lib directory I'd like to run "play deps --sync" without this jar being deleted.. I've already looked at depency file documentation but couldn't figure out how to do it any idea? -- edit I've just found the answer: http://groups.google.com/group/play-framework/browse_thread/thread/b54e4e25ae49161b Gonna google around a bit more before asking here just like the answer in google groups said, I could achieve it with the following dependencies.yml file for library /jar/DateHelper-1.0.jar require: - play -> crud - provided -> DateHelper 1.0 repositories: - provided:

Waaah, the Play! framework has so many static methods. Where I go to school, we were told never ever to use any statics, yet Play! uses it like there's no tomorrow. Is that somehow okay? If so, why? We (7 people and I) are planning to use the Play! framework for a project involving a web app. We decided to do it with Play! because it looks quite fun to do, all of us already know Java and the assignment is pretty hard so we wanted to focus on the actual assignment rather than also learning how to program in a different language. We were always told, however, NEVER EVER to use 'static's in any
