Subject: Escaping Characters in Struts Property Tag
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,
I want to use the struts property tag to set a JavaScript variable. 
Ordinarily, it would look something like:
var testValue = '<s:property value="testValue" />';

However, this does not work if the value has a single quote in it, so that
character needs to be escaped.  It should be easy, but I can't figure out
how to do it.  I can't return testValue.replaceAll("'", "\'") as I'd like to
because the quotes in the call to replaceAll would interfere with the quotes
in property tag.  My only other idea was to create a class with a static
method, but I can't figure out how to call it.  Would it be something like:
var testValue = '<s:property
value="@com.benmccann.util.StringUtil@javascriptEscape(comments)" />'

Thanks,
Ben
