Application Development Environment

PO01124, WorkItem:239897 - Pod Errors when content contains square brackets characters.

Issue Description:

Previously there was an error on Pods, for example the Available Task Pod or the My Tasks Pod, when some special characters were present in the Subject input field for a Task.

**User Interface Impact: **No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login as a caseworker.
2. Click on “Home” to view the “My Tasks” pod.
3. Click on "Inbox" then select New Task.
4. Fill in the subject field with special characters (e.g. [, newtasks[]{} or [{}{}{}{}{}kjhkjsdhfkjsd).
5. Observe in the "My Open Tasks" that all tasks are displayed correctly.
6. Click on "Home" and refresh the pods.
7. An error is displayed on the Available Task pod and the My Tasks pod.

Resolution:

The issue with the special characters has been addressed by updating the code that loads the pod content to properly handle these characters. The presence of these characters in the Task Subject input field no longer results in an error on the Available Task Pod and the My Tasks Pod.

PO08009, WorkItem:240982 - Support for special characters viewed through the Notes History page

Issue Description:

Case Notes are typically created in the application as a result of using the Rich Text Editor. Therefore the manipulation of the data in the Case Notes functionality, for both the storage and the viewing of such notes, is tailored for use with that editor in that the data is expected to be in the format specific to data entry through the Rich Text Editor. An issue arose for a customer who used an alternative mechanism to input a case note. A custom screen contained a text input field which was designated as a standard Comments field at the screen level, but on the server side was stored as a Note. When the text entered via the Comments field and stored as a Note contained a special character such as '&' or '$', it was not stored in the format that was compatible with the manipulation of Case Notes data. This meant it was not displayed correctly when read back from the database and viewed through the Notes History page.

**User Interface Impact: **Yes.
Steps to Reproduce:

Note: as the scenario which resulted in this issue did not follow the expected usage of Case Notes infrastructure, there are no examples of this issue in the out-of-the-box Platform application. To reproduce the issue:

1. Create a custom UIM page with a standard text entry field which does not use the NOTE_TEXT domain, such as a Comments field.
2. In the server interface associated with this page, assign the text entered in the Comments field to a database field with a domain type of NOTE_TEXT.
3. Navigate to this page on a built and deployed server and enter text in the Comments field, including the '&' character, and click Save.
4. Navigate to a Notes list page and select the Note corresponding to the text entered above.
5. Open the toggle to view the Notes History.
6. The comments text entered previously is not fully displayed.

Resolution:

This issue has now been resolved and the Notes History page correctly displays comments which include special characters such as '&' or '$'.

Technical:

WorkItem 240981 introduced the Jsoup library into the Social Program Management application. This library enables improved handling of HTML documents and strings. This ticket updated the Notes History Renderer code to make use of these new classes. Data entered as Notes but without using the Rich Text Editor is now in a format that is compatible with being displayed on the Note History screens.
