I have a string which looks like:

text = " "12.10 On-Going Submission of ""Made Up"" Samples." "

I am trying to escape the double quotes. I have tried the following thing:

import groovy.json.StringEscapeUtils;
textFinal: escapeJava(text)

BTW this text is going to be a JSON response. I am getting the following error as JSON response 

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.thomsonreuters.ald.aeandsdx.ArtifactController.escapeJava() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: ["12.10 On-Going Submission of ""Made Up"" Samples."]{"status":"Bad request","msg":{"arguments":["\"12.10 On-Going Submission of\"\"

on the console I am getting this error :

2014-09-25 14:55:07,555 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] ERROR errors.GrailsExceptionResolver  - StringIndexOutOfBoundsException occurred when processing request: [GET] /artifact - parameters:

Don't know why this wont work. This should. To get more clear picture what exactly I am trying to do refer Question 1 Question 2 and Question 3

Currently you're just importing StringEscapeUtils in a regular way, but then you're not explicitly calling the method from the right class.

I suspect you either want:

import static groovy.json.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava;
textFinal: escapeJava(text)

or:

import groovy.json.StringEscapeUtils;
textFinal: StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(text)

  • I did the latter one but my JSON go truncated { "documentName":"ICENSE AGREEMENT6", "listOfArtifacts":[ { "type":"Clause", "artifacts":[ { "documentId":6951, "documentName":"ICENSE AGREEMENT6", "artifactId":7029, "text":"\\\"12.10 On-Going Submission o\\\"\\\"" – krs8785 Sep 25 '14 at 19:09
  • @krs: That sounds like it's probably either just your logging, or your input being truncated. I very much doubt that it's got anything to do with the escaping part. – Jon Skeet Sep 25 '14 at 19:18
  • When you say input being truncated, i do get an string index out of bound error on the console too. – krs8785 Sep 25 '14 at 19:22
  • ok i got you.. what you say is correct. i did get the esacping right. I jsut printed the text and its perfect. \"12.10 On-Going Submission of \"\"Made Up\"\" Samples.\". But why is the JSON getting truncated – krs8785 Sep 25 '14 at 19:34
  • @krs: I have no way of knowing that, but it sounds like a different question, and one that you should ask in a different post. – Jon Skeet Sep 25 '14 at 19:36
  • is it because i render it again as JSON at the end ? – krs8785 Sep 25 '14 at 19:36
  • @krs: I can't possibly tell, because all I've got is those two lines of code. But again, that's off the topic of this question. *Please* take the hint and start a new question with all the relevant details. – Jon Skeet Sep 25 '14 at 19:38
