> "The set of characters in a value is also limited. If
> special characters may occur, it is recommended that the
> value be quoted, using ObjectName.quote. If the value for a
> given key is sometimes quoted, then it should always be
> quoted. By default, if a value is a string (rather than a
> number, say), then it should be quoted unless you are sure
> that it will never contain special characters." quoted from
> java management best practices (see
> http://java.sun.com/products/JavaManagement/best-practices.html#mozTocId654884
> in section ObjectNameSyntax)
> When a JMX value is quoted, it causes problems to invoke methods through thr Jboss jmx web console :
> So my feeling is that the problem comes from the jboss jmx
> console jsp pages.
> The thing is that the quotes in the jmx object name are not
> encoded to the html format in the jsp pages and so the first
> opening quote is interpreted as the final quote of the html
> field.
> Here is a quick fix for Jboss-3.2.6 :
> Add the following lines to
> %JBOSS_HOME%\server\all\deploy\jmx-console.war\inspectMBean.jsp
> after line 141
> <%objectNameString=objectNameString.replaceAll("\"","&quot;");
> //objectNameString=URLEncoder.encode(objectNameString);%>
> It was a quick fix to fit my needs but the
> line should really be the one commented but in that case the
> HtmlAdaptorServlet from Jboss cannot handle it correctly
> because it doesn't do a URLDecoder.decode of the
> objectNameString stored in the request parameter called "name".
> But I might be wrong here in saying that it comes from
> jboss, maybe I missed something along the way. 
> Can someone confirm this bug or help me out there ?
> Thx
> Best regards
